    Since most locksmiths can make a master key to most standard lock brands in minutes I’m not sure why they’d go the trouble of robbing a customer. It seems like if they wanted to rob someone they’d be better off robbing someone at random — or who is proven to be away via casing the place.

    Thank you! I did look at this film and was happy that I was able to track down some of these photos.

  • karen

    Thank you, I did find quite a few at the BHS.

    Thank you! I will get my email to Claude Scales.

    And Abraham Smolowitz (someone’s name before anglicization)
    is the last person/bot/algorithm who knows…who should be commenting on the subject of sanity.

    BTW are we dealing with a human entity? What is your real name and are you a resident of the Heights? But fiirst, are you or are you not a real person? Or are dealing with an A.I Bot programmed to be annoying? (We find a lot of your submissions more amusing like the “serious ” admonitions of a small child to an adult) But its clear your intention or the intent of your programmer(s) is to make ” you” as annoying as is possible.

    Nuff said.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    You’re extremely naive, and were really not talking primarily about. Locksmiths. Were talking generally about key duplication. The number of entries which result from various levels of service personnel abetting the crime is legion. This happens because the average “sensible” aduld can imaging their superintendent, delivery boy, hardware guy who makes their key, ever being involved doing or facilitating a crime. What?! Henry at the hardware store? I’ve known him for years! What? old Mr _______, our super? He told them I had a lot of Jewelry and a new laptop?

    Protect yourself folks, this ISN’T the old America……

  • Jeffrey Smith

    Question, what’s your real name? And what does AEB stand for?
    Abraham E Bronstien? or oh wow NO!!!! you’re ALLAN B DULLES!!!!!
    OMG I thought you were DEAD!!! Hello? American Free Press? Give me the editor and rewrite!!! I have a really hot leak Alan B Dulles found in British enclave on New York’s East River.

    As in my opening comment to the AS Bot, see, anyone can make up any kind of false and sometimes malicious rumor.

    What I try to present here is vital but often semi to fully hidden reality in areas vital to the safety and well being of my neighbors and associates just like, pick a good publication, The American Free Press in Washington, for example does every week. I try to do that in all my dealing with the good people of the Heights.

  • Jeff reality based Smith

    See, there has to be some kind of human intervention in the function of this not. Simple annoying and insulting behavior is one thing, but inserting links like this is simply beyond an automatic function bot .
    So we have someone actively running the system at least at times. But notice bots (and AI nerds) can’t/don’t read; creedmore is for Queens residents.

    But the Casino IS open and serves often divorced from critical aspects of reality, Brooklyn Heights residents.

  • Willow Street Watch

    Not true..a master key and duplication of an individual key are two different things. Also, I’m SURE it would really be of great interest if some locksmith invented a master key for all or many medico cylinders. Miltilock is an Israeli invention. Some “high security” cyclindets HAVE been found to have amazing vulnerabilities and that’s why upgrading your cylinder is a good idea.!

    My bad, I directed you to Creedmoor because I know they can give you the kind of help you need. The good thing is you clicked on the link, that shows you have a genuine interest in getting help. Here is a link to the place you can get that help in Brooklyn.

  • Brixtony

    This is the kind of sick paranoia that is bringing America down . Do I detect a tRump’ite in our midst? Btw, if you need a visual id on Herr Schmidt, Google it and look for the Brooklyn Paper. Oops, I did it again, broke my troll rule.

  • Brixtony

    Is it just me, or do I keep detecting an anti-Jewish tinge to some of this patriot’s screeds?

  • Brixtony

    See what I mean

  • Banet

    I’ll bite. When I walk into Bruno’s to get a key copied and pay $2 cash out of my pocket, how do they know where I live? Do they just try every door in a 10-block radius?

  • Jeffrey Smith

    Facial recognition is quietly being propagated. Make no mistake. Thats the first Very Large reality here.

    And let me understand this:

    1) a growing nimber of key dup locations are using sysyems which digotialize a key’s profile, store that info and then use the code to cut the key. You have NO control over the system retaining the code.and
    2) a photographic record is now being made of WHO is receiving every key…

    And you geniuses see nothing wrong with any of that?

    I would try to actually research something before I voiced an “opinion” or labeled an accurate observation A) paranoid or B) a conspiracy theory….which is the great way now every non thinker dismisses anything and everything they don’t want brought to the public’s attention.

    Never mind the naysayers and the PC-oids, this ain’t the old America folks, its going to get rougher, protect you family, never mind the pin heads out here…

  • J Smith

    Notice what’s happening here folks, he doesn’t argue the facts, he doesn’t want to do that…he just throws rocks. They do this because they CAN’T argue the facts…and you’re going to shape your opinion and your decisions based on these geniuses?

    Stick to hard reliable facts. Verifiable evidence, not nerds and PC types throwing rocks…

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlsiLOnWCoI Arch Stanton

    You are Spot On!
    If you search old threads, I outed him months ago. Back in the eighties he tried to recruit local teens into a neo nazi group called “The Order” (swastika in the middle of the O). He also distributed a ultra-right newspaper called “The Spotlight” which now is called “The American Free Press” (see he references it below) If you check out their website you will see all the evidence you need. Warning, some of the material on that site is very sick and offensive.

  • Jeff Smith

    No, because of my work as an advocate for the elderly, I know it because several under market Tennant’s I know have been threatened by APS or courts with (totally improper and illegal) admissions/incarnation s and we had to go to court to stop it, so I know the admissions limitations there.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlsiLOnWCoI Arch Stanton

    Are you saying you are so ill they cannot give you the help you need? If you can afford it, there are some excellent private institutions. The important thing is you take steps towards getting help.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlsiLOnWCoI Arch Stanton

    It is you who should do some research and post links to credible articles supporting your fanciful claims.

  • Jeff Heights safety first smit

    No, Im saying I first, I don’t directions from a visibly irrational person nor a dishonest person. Both of which applies to a certain casino person I could name. Second, if a mouse shouts obscenities at a
    mountain does it become concerned or attribute importance to the output of the mouse?

    But the bot is under some human control at times, because when I deliberated mentioned in humor the raised hand, the bot didn’t react. Nor did it react to the AFP mention for a long time. So this is a not we have here which is sometimes human directed. Consider if you should react or be concerned with what an algorithm puts forth.I’m not.

  • Andrew Porter

    Yes, that’s why I buy all my food in Cleveland, Ohio. You never know who’s watching me when (or if…) I go to Key Food on Montague. Or, as I sometimes say, Maybe Not.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    No, I do about 20 talks a year, but its to groups containing actually intelligent well informed people so, there would be a qualification problem with some of the parties now present.

  • StudioBrooklyn

    If I post the number on my Mensa membership card will you answer my question?

  • Concerned

    Mensa vocabulary toilet paper definition #1: “Guffaw”

  • StudioBrooklyn

    We’re forbidden by regulations from ever typing “LOL”.

  • Jeffrey (2000 I.Q./HP Smith

    Oh no!, not another Mensa robot/high I.q./zero /street sense/judgment person. You can imagine the approaches from Mensa I’ve had. But starting in the late 50’s I began to question the agenda there. Pretty soon it wss apparent they have a strong internationalist bent just below the surface. And I have come to feel they are also just one more british front.

    But Just the girls from Mensa…woof woof!!!…Girls with Zero girl instincts, like something out of the child buyer,

    Man, I think I’ll stick with (real normal) girls (in poodle skirts), Patriotism, hot rods and rockabilly music!

  • Concerned

    Yeah, isn’t that the rule James Woods created? Strictly enforced by sergeant at arms of Mensa, Steve Martin, who will play the banjo outside your home as a penalty for rule breaking.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    Mr. Moderator, its grossly unfair for someone to attack me, using dishonest and fabricated incidents. I answer with the real facts, that a person seeking to enter a social group planted evidence and caused deliberately an incident and my response is censored.

    Sure, its a mouse indicting a mountain and at this point so few people statistically care, but it IS grossly unfair to let a dishonest charge be made and the honest response is struck.

  • Willow Street Watch

    Leave it to someone to try to blur the issue with snide obfuscations.
    Jeff is right about you.
