One individual seemed to think that money in a Bonei Olam Pushka belonged to all the children in the world, including himself.
Julio Ortiz walked into a Flatbush store wearing a Borsalino hat while posing as being Jewish. He told the clerks that he came to collect the Pushka money and will leave them a receipt.
When one clerk noticed him acting suspicious he was refused access to the Pushka. Immediately afterward, he went into a second, third and fourth store doing the same with different organizational Pushka’s.
Flatbush Shomrim was then notified. The perpetrator was trailed by responding members who then alerted officers from the local precinct.
Responding uniformed officers chained the hands of the perpetrator for wanting to unchain the collected monies from the Pushka’s.

Did he manage to get any of the money in any of the pushkas prior to arrest?
from picking lettuce to picking money…
nice hat, thats all it takes?
Hey, I had a chovos halevovos shiur with him in chaim berlin twice a week…
You’ve gotta give the guy an E for effort. He thought of an ingenuious plan. I wonder what he did that tipped off the store clerk to the fact that he wasn’t legit.
