Stolen Mail - have you SEEN this THIEF?
#1
Home away from home
Home away from home


Hi,

I live on 6th Street near Coles Street and found a stack of opened mail envelopes in my mailbox - the contents removed. Referred to the outdoor security camera and caught a good photo of the thief. He went up/down each of the steps of all neighbors in our row - grabbing mail, opening and removing items, stuffing back into boxes.

The stolen mail placed my box was from a resident of 7th Street / Monmouth, whom we alerted.

Contacted the JC Police Department who didn't want to write up a report. Informed them that it was federal offense - they came over and I had to show them the law (online) before they reluctantly filed a report. Also contacted the Post Office and opened a case.

Asking the Webmaster here to assist with posting a photo from our camera, since it's too complicated. Thanks for any help.

Thanks - was hoping to upload a .jpeg but it's always super complicated.

Can anyone provide step by step instructions for uploading a photo? I recall that a .jpeg had to be hosted by a 3rd party (maybe?) but can't seem to find the original thread. TIA.

Insurance Broker Recommendations?
#4
Home away from home
Home away from home


Hi - I own a business, a home, a car, etc. and have become increasingly po'd at my insurance broker, Mike @ Mile Square (Hoboken). My needs are pretty basic - a simple, timely email reply, follow up on a service request, etc. is all that's required. I've yet to even file a claim.

Appreciate any recommendations - the contact needs to be fluent both in commercial and personal lines.

Re: Tiger Mart / Exxon Gas Station - Credit Card Skimming

@ Thirds Street, great advice, thanks.
I didn?t think that chips were easily replicated but berhaps the merchants were my stolen card was used have not implemented them? The Finnish Line and Game Stop over at the mall were hit up for $350/each.

If my understanding is correct: merchants who lack a chip are responsible for the loss.


I?ve been prompted for identification for less expensive purchases and have always been thankful when asked. Credit card fraud causes all of us to pay more than necessary.


I?d prefer to pump my own gas and monitor my card?s placement at all times. But hey, let?s face it...probably not an option in NJ anytime soon.

There are over 100 comments here, lol.
Or maybe just head on over to Yelp to read reviews?
Most companies will have insurance coverage & bonding.

Yes, that's the one. I always pay at the pump. Tried contacting management there but no one ever picks up the phone. We frequently fill up at either the gas station near JC Medical on Montgomery or the one on 18th Street, near Hoboken. While 18th St. has more pumps and is efficiently layed out, I'm done with it. Twice within a year is unforgivable.

For the 2nd time this year my credit card has been skimmed and Chase noted that in both instances the Tiger Mart was the last stop before the thief went on a shopping spree. Coincidence? I'm not inclined to think so.

+1 for Ron Ackerman, below. I've been using him for several months now and find him to be smart, professional and highly skilled. He's also punctual so maybe I should increase this to ++2, lol? His number is 201.600.0768 - no website (that I'm aware of anyway).

Off topic but...the downtown location is gross - in addition to the cat roaming freely (I'm a cat lover but no so much when it comes to restaurant food prep areas) - have you ever looked up at all the dust and crap just above you as you wait in line? Is there a Board of Health rating in the window?

Re: infant daycare options in downtown JC?
#11
Home away from home
Home away from home


We used Scandi School and were pleased with at the time - be careful if switching to another daycare or school setting as their application and fees are due ahead of other school's admission notification and the tuition deposit is non refundable. We pulled our daughter out before kindergarden (which was recently started there) and have head mixed reviews from parents whose children stayed on for it.

At HPMS and very happy now.

Re Growing Tree - were you aware of this incident a few years ago? Other than 9/11, I can't recall seeing that level of emergency workers out in full force for those kids...

I'm optimistic that this project will green light through to completion - the area needs revitalization and it starts, I believe, with bringing residents - the cashflow will then warrant new restaurants, school improvement, etc.

Mason / Front Porch Contractor

Exterior cement steps leading up to the second floor of our home probably need to be ripped down. Area outside of the first floor, same thing. Might be a good time to install a permanent pump under the porch to remove storm water drainage. Any suggestions for contractors? Thanks, in advance.

Children's Birthday Parties
#16
Home away from home
Home away from home


I've attended 3 kid-parties this past weekend, including the one that I threw for my 6 year old daughter - held at Bambino Chef. Just wanted to give a shout out to this awesome space on Newark Ave. - the kids are fully engaged in healthy cooking (this is a theme, taken seriously by Rene, the owner, as covered with food donations to schools, community involvement, etc) and the parents have seats & tables & food (either catered or brought in themselves) to relax and chill in. The weekend parties last 1.5 - 2 hours long (perfect) and the kids are fed while they are cooking and engaged in games and singing.
The other parties this weekend were at Fun Plex (Rt. 10) and Jsut 4 Kids (Hoboken). Each were between 2-4 hours, pretty chaotic and parents were starving and grumpy.
I hear lots of folks talking here about the importance of "supporting local businesses" so I thought that I'd give a shout out here. Cross reference on Yelp and Google - everyone raves about this place.

Re: Learning Community Charter School
#20
Home away from home
Home away from home


A year ago I entered the lottery drawing on the very last day that it was offered. It was the first time I had applied and I was hoping to gain admission to Kindergarden. Priority is given to siblings of children already in attendance and the likelihood of gaining admission was something like 3%.

Guess what? We won.
Guess where my daughter goes to school today? Same school that she had been attending previously.

I requested a classroom observation - I wanted to sit in the rear of a class for 20-30 minutes to gain some perspective on what was going on inside the walls. Two requests were denied with, "we don't allow that sort of thing here."

I sat outside the school and watched afternoon pick up for a few days - disciplinary issues spilling onto the sidewalks.

I spoke with a friend who's served on their board of director's for the past several years - she reminded me that test scores are linked to funding and drilling for test taking starts 90 days before an exam period. She shared that the school was underfunded, there had been many changes from the top down - some for the better and some for the worst.

Lastly, I spoke with a Kindergarden teacher at Golden Door Charter School who filled me in on a typical work day there - kids coming to school knowing way to much about grown up issues, i.e. Domestic abuse, hunger, alcoholism, etc. She also reinforced the attention to test prep - state funding is a constant element.

In the end we decided to decline and give our seat to a family that genuinely wanted to get out of whatever school they were currently enrolled in. Friends said that we were crazy - many families hold parties when they finally land a coveted slot in the school system. It was the right decision for us and I am sure that another family was thrilled.

Private Grammar School Options - Downtown
#21
Home away from home
Home away from home


We're in Hamilton Park Montessori and all's going well. It's our 3rd year there and mini me's in kindergarten. Many families pull their kids out when a second child arrives on the scene because, let's face it, the cost of tuition x2 + property taxes = unbearable.

The school was established 10 years ago and has accomplished much: full time literacy/speech/music/gym instructors, Stem program, a sports team, talk of a theater group, after school programs, etc.

With a shortage of daycare in the area - they've converted the kid's kitchen into a classroom for the little ones and split another classroom in half to accommodate another class of 3, 4 and 5 year olds. So a high concentration of little people and fewer older students.

Wondering what your experiences have been like in some of the other schools that go through 8th grade, i.e. Stevens, The French Academy, etc. There are also some newer schools in the area and I'd be interested to learn of positive / negative feedback from any of those.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Vogue Cafe - new French cafe on York & Marin

Stopped in yesterday and had to exercise considerable discipline to prevent myself from buying every single thing on the display. Settled for a pain au chocolat and a plain croissant - simply amazing. The bill was $7.00 - which I thought was completely fair. By comparison - has anyone recently purchased pastries at Smith & Chang - want to support them but pricing = crazytown.

The warm scent of butter hits you as you walk in and the space and it has been repainted and fixed up since Tommy's was there.

I love Choco Pain - but have to say that competition is a good thing and this new spot is certainly a welcome newcomer to the area. I wish them well and will be back again with a larger appetite.

Yay for all of us.

Dry cleaner at the corner of Newark/Coles is a family owned, plant that cleans on site. I've always been happy with cleaning, alterations, etc. They are fairly priced and turn around is fast.

Re: Crash on Jersey Ave, Friday Night Aug 5

I was 9 1/2 months pregnant and doing the big, pre-baby, house purge one fine February day. As I drove down Washington Street in Hoboken to drop off book and clothing donations I gingerly cruised through an amber traffic light.
I was promptly pulled over by a police car and despite hormonal tears, pleading, my enormous belly, etc. I was swiftly handed a summons.
No one parks illegally in Hoboken because the police are *hot on them* with ticketing, booting and towing. It raises an enormous sum of revenue for our neighboring town and is such low hanging fruit to implement and enforce.
I'd like to see more of a traffic police presence here in JC. Almost everyone I know has been clipped by a car that just kept driving.

Agreed - very little veg food...we wanted to support it but walked out when there were only a few items on the menu to choose from. Most restaurants will make some attempt to cover vegetarians but UR, not so much. Same issue with Talde - nothing on the menu. I'm sad to see any business leave...the space will probably be quickly rented to a daycare provider.

Re: Lawyer - Writing a Will

Thanks for the suggestions - @gotothecorner, I'm on the same page with you here...would rather pay for a professional and address estate planning, custody issues, etc.
I also appreciate the funeral directives as the will docs cannot be immediately accessible.

A father of my daughter's grade school classmate was dressing for his workday a few weeks ago and suddenly died. Another dad we know was driving to the beach, pulled over to phone his wife (complaining of chest pain) and died suddenly in the car.

No one thinks that it can happen to them - I'll feel better once these docs are in place.
