The car of a Boro Park resident was broken into last week, and wigs, electronics and other items were stolen.
Video footage from a nearby security camera reveals the burglar, who found the car parked on 18th Avenue, emptying all the contents in it – including the four expensive wigs.
The suspect appears to be arriving at the car at around 5 a.m. wearing a hood. In the video, the burglar is seen slowly opening the window of the car as he looks back and forth, and pulls out items from it – then turns away.
Boro Park has recently been plagued by thefts that focus on shuls, businesses and cars.

Wigs/shaitels are not so pashut that an isha is allowed to wear. Maybe this is bashert that they were taken in order to avoid a nichshal. If a wig looks like the regular hair, or even nicer/more attractive, it defeats the whole purpose of “covering” the erva.
“it defeats the whole purpose of “covering” the erva.” No it does not. Where did you pick up your nonsense from? Her own hair, the erva, is covered 100% al pi halachah even if you don’t like how she does it.
It is quite pashut to most of the frum world in the US that sheitels are OK. Please go ahead and follow the rulings of your posek, and I will follow the rulings of mine.
Police will be there for you… to take a report after the crime already happened, that is. Forget recovery of the stolen items, and if a perp gets caught he’ll get a slap on the wrist. Why should our community support the police, again?
They were Indian temple hair wigs.
In a way … This guy has a big Zechus, because for more women will dress with out today’s style of “Dress to Kill Wigs” and instead they will have to wear a Tichel which is preferred according to MOST Poskim!!!
now don’t all start screaming at me because we all have to admit that today’s wigs look nicer then natural hair..
so it looks nicer. but is it the persons actual hair? since when is it someone else’s hair that’s forbidden?
I guess she’ll have to resort to wearing tichels! Or, chas v’shalom, bloiz in kup!!
Who leaves valuables in a car?
Were the owner’s heads attached?
That’s the problem. Their head were detached.
