Man Kidnapped From Synagogue Escapes From Trunk
POSTED: 9:09 am EST March 3, 2006
NORTH WOODMERE, N.Y. -- A 75-year-old man was robbed and kidnapped Thursday while opening a Long Island synagogue for morning prayers, Nassau County police said.
The man was stuffed into the trunk of his car for about an hour until he was able to escape, police said.
The incident began at 5:50 a.m., when the man was preparing the Young Israel Synagogue in North Woodmere for the morning service, police said.
Police said the two masked robbers with guns demanded money from the man, who was not identified. The man told them he had no money, so they took his car and ATM card and put him in the trunk of the car.
The man said the robbers drove around for about an hour, making a couple of stops.
When the car stopped and the man didn't hear voices in the car anymore, he was able to pry open the trunk, escape and call police.

b"H, he's okay-- though as of last night he and his family were still quite shaken.
The day will come when I will be able to properly and fully express myself in my sig. Today is a sad day.

"Shake off all the fears and servile prejudices under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1787
"How could you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."

goes to show you what?
That we live in a crazy place. Im not saying that there is any better places but that the world in general is going "sour". I mean a guy was shot and killed in crown heights and according to english newspapers it was a hate crime. This guy was kidnapped and we dont even have to get into what is going on in france.

Remember the time of day...the area mentioned is residential and there aren't throngs of people roaming the streets at that hour.
The day will come when I will be able to properly and fully express myself in my sig. Today is a sad day.

if it was a busy spot then they would not have gone there as they would have for sure been caught. I guess you are right.Remember the time of day...the area mentioned is residential and there aren't throngs of people roaming the streets at that hour.

I saw it on the news. How weird. Poor guy he is fine though. Now all his neighbors decided to keep pop trunk remotes in their cars just in case.
