Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood POlice report that on Monday August 24, 2015 a Heights Road resident reported that sometime between August 18, 2015 and August 24, 2015 someone had removed clothing valued at approximately $4000. from outside of his/her home where it had been delivered by a cleaning service.
Details such as sizes and or dress sizes , nor the gender of the clothing where not released by the Ridgewood Police
The matter is being investigated by the detective bureau.
Must have been lined in fold
The contents of my whole house isn’t worth that much.
Didn’t Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward warn against having your dry cleaner leave clothes at the front door?
Really, $4000 worth of clothes? Who in the world spends so much money on clothes? Guess my Kohls budget is not fitting with Ridgewood.
that’s a couple of suits and some shirts… what are you talking about?
I would not leave $4,000 worth of anything on my porch.
And what burgler is interested in drycleaning? Wait till they bring that to their fence.
Yea for you rich people!
This sounds inflated for insurance. Yea for fraud.
Burglars are not interested in the clothing, but the presence of clothing at your front door is an indication of an unoccupied home.
I hope no one has their eye on my 10k planter.
A couple,of suits and some shirts???? What economic stratosphere are you in?
A fur coat, maybe?
Something smells here. Yes, there are people in the area that actually do possess clothing of such value, but my BS Detector is going off here when I look at the whole reported chain of events. 1. A highly valuable set of clothing is left by a dry cleaner on someone’s porch. 2. An almost-unheard of crime of someone stealing dry cleaning from a front porch takes place, and it just happens to be highly valuable (something an opportunist thief just happened to come across).
“Heights Road” Get it
If the homeowner had anything of that value he/she is an idiot for leaving it on the porch.
I really question a burgler stealing clothes. Does not make sense.
Heights Road insurance con -get it.
It’s an insurance job
I don’t get the timeline…. they clothing was left outside for days before it was stolen?
Really, is some junkie going to fence a suit in order to buy some crack? NOT
Maybe the heights Road resident is short on cash and needs insurance money.
