Top Israeli Hood killed in car bombing

Top Israeli Hood killed in car bombing

A car carrying one of Israel’s top mafia kingpins exploded as it traveled in central Tel Aviv on Monday, killing him and threatening to unleash an all-out war in Israel’s increasingly violent underworld.

Israeli police officials identified the dead man as Yaakov Alperon — known informally as “Don Alperon” — the head of one of the country’s most powerful crime families. The bloodied body was wearing the same polo shirt Alperon was seen sporting earlier in the day at a Tel Aviv courthouse.

Medics said three bystanders were also lightly wounded in the explosion, including a 13-year-old boy.

Israelis are accustomed to violence with their Palestinian neighbors but have traditionally felt relatively safe from violent crime. In recent years, however, mob wars also have plagued Israeli towns and cities.

Rival underworld gangs have waged bloody battles for control of gambling and protection rackets, including one involving bottle recycling.

I was just talking to one of my friends (who is an up and coming young gun in the Mossad) about how Israel is heating up.

Female Thieves hustle jewellers for ring

Female Thieves hustle jewellers for ring

Two thieves who stole a £15,000 diamond ring from a jewellers in Edinburgh are being sought by police.

Two women, believed to be of middle-eastern origin, walked into Lime Blue jewellers in George Street and asked to look at a ring in the window display.

They acted as if they wished to pay for the ring but when the shop assistant turned away, the thieves walked out of the shop with it.

A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: “This was a brazen high-value theft carried out by two women who are believed to have visited a number of shops in George Street yesterday afternoon.

“We are appealing for any members of the public who may have noticed the suspects in George Street, either before or after the theft took place, to contact us immediately.

“Similarly, anyone with any other information that can help us identify the two women should also get in touch.”

This is a classic hustle.

And in my experience, is better preformed by women.

Down Economy: Bar Poaching

» 11 November 2008 » In Crime, Nightlife, Style » No Comments

Down Economy: Bar Poaching

Its no secret that I am not a fan of credit cards. I prefer CASH.

With the Down Economy, younger G’s I know have been telling me about a phenomenon that has been gathering speed: Bar Poaching.

Yet another reason not to use credit cards

Bar Poaching is when someone at the bar overhears the name on your tab and continues to order drinks on your tab.

And at the end of the night when you go to pay, you get racked. Unless of course, you are using a fake credit card, which is acceptable.

You have been warned.

Just hope people the poachers don’t hit you for Bottle Service, credit card guy.

CASH has way more style points anyway.

Side Note:

I don’t Bar Poach. I can afford drinks. Furthermore, I get pro-bono’d almost everywhere anyways.

Smooth $350,000 jewelry heist in Los Altos, California

Smooth $350,000 jewelry heist in Los Altos, California

From the way the $350,000 jewelry heist in downtown Los Altos transpired, it seems as though the thieves must have gotten a script from an intricate crime novel or a Hollywood movie.

Sometime before 4:38 a.m. Sunday, a team of suspects pried open the door of Hordin’s Bookkeeping & Income Tax Service and cut through a portion of a wall separating the tax accountant’s office and Harold’s Jewelry, 164 Main St.

The hole lined up exactly with the jeweler’s safe.

Police Sgt. John Korges said the thieves used commercial metal cutters to peel open the safe and make off with at least $350,000 worth of loose stones, jewelry waiting for repair and display pieces. Cops showed up 14 minutes later only to find an empty jewelry store and no suspects.

Korges got a buzz at home at 5 a.m. alerting him that something major had gone down.

“This was a big deal,” Korges said. “This level of sophistication is rarely seen in Santa Clara County. The labor and the time it took to evaluate the territory and make plans, this was very involved.”

This was the third jewelry store burglary on Main Street since August, and police are open to the idea that they may be related. A jewelry store in Los Gatos was also robbed on Halloween. But police say the modus operandi of that “smash and grab” robbery doesn’t appear to be connected to the Los Altos burglary because the Los Gatos store was robbed in broad daylight and occurred when the owner was working in the store.

The burglars had moved a copy machine to give them room to “hack away at the wall. It looks like they took their time cutting,” Hordin said, adding that he doesn’t have an alarm, so the burglars could have been working for a long time with no one knowing.
