    There are ads regarding this in the daily Hamodia’s (I believe) and they state that the ganav comes on day 6, when th epushkas are full. Perhaps this is this guys way of staking out the shiva house, and then he knows where to go back on day 6 or 7.

    THIS SAME FELLOW DID THE SAME EXACT THING (WITH THE TISSUE AND THE NEW PENS (STILL PACKAGED))AT BATEI AVEILIM ON 58TH ST AND ON 50TH ST IN ONE NIGHT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. BUT HE WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE PISHKAS.

    A few women were being menachem avel an aveila on Webster Avenue in Brooklyn. In walked a man, a man who is known in the community as somewhat strange, walked straight in, threw a pen at the aveila, took a tissue and walked out. This was so strange, that we were sure HE IS THE GUY this story is about. He did not come to be menachem avel, did not know the aveila, did not say anything, but when he saw that there was no commotion, just 1 person sitting, and all the pushkas were within that one room, out he ran. Now this IS AN ASSUMPTION, but when we called Shomrim and notified then of this, and told them that we can identify him (from pictures-if they have any) they did not follow up and did not call back.

    tell makimim to hide a gps chip in one of the pushkas or use dye in the money . Another idea is to hide a camera with the avelims permission.

    If we could just get people to stop dying for a couple of weeks I’m sure he’d move on…
