Beware of scrap metal thieves in Boro-Park
Due to the skyrocketing prices of raw materials and specifically metal, thieves have been scouring Boro-Park for all and any scrap metal. These thieves work as a team of two to three people with a van and enter backyards in middle of the night to gather anything metal that they can find. Some of these thieves have even pulled up metal fences to take with them and cash in for some money. If you have anything that has metal parts, such as air conditioners, folding chairs or even bicycles, that you are not looking to get rid of, make sure that they are securely locked up.

They removed my gutter pipe (rain draining pipe) that goes from my roof to the ground.

This morning I davened with the early minyan.
On my way home, I saw a red dodge RAM van with Pennsylvania license plates GTW 4099 (I hope I remember the number exactly) double parked on 15th Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets.
On top of the van were various pieces of scrap metal including a bicycle frame.
Three Mexicans were rummaging through a driveway on the block. When they saw me looking at them, they said they were looking for junk but I prevailed upon them not to take anything.
Be warned.
