A lot of people have been asking for updates from yesterday’s attempted robbery of Sovereign Bank. From Vos Iz Neias:
Reports from the scene confirm that there are two hole in the roof with a ladder going down into the bank. The crooks crawled through a heating vent but were unable to gain access to the vault and fled empty-handed.
And yes, we ripped off their headline, too. Just one question: why is the Jewish press covering this better than anyone else (including us), and why do both Jewish press sources put the location in Flatbush?
Regardless, we’re not criticizing. They whipped our butts on this one fair and square. Here’s a link to a Yeshiva World News photo gallery that even shows the holes on the roof. Kudos to my khaveyrim.

in the orthodox jewish vernacular, all addresses where there are letter avenues (and their named counterparts) and numbered addresses are still considered “flatbush”, so Beverley Road and East 29th is Flatbush, along with Avenue Y and East 2nd Street (Sheepshead Bay), Avenue M and East 16th Street (Midwood). Etc…
Somehow that makes sense, and can be verified as well.
Another reason to hate the commissioners plan of 1871. Flatbush is fine, in Flatbush. But Sheepshead Bay was never in Flatbush, it used to be in Gravesend.
