The Crime

The elderly woman could not believe her ears when the stranger standing in front of her had uttered those words. The look on her face was that of shock and disbelief. Her body was still shaking but she could finally affirm that indeed she had been robbed. The painful memory was now flooding to her once more and she was taken aback by this stranger’s question…

Grim Memories

So when Matthew asked the elderly woman whether she had been robbed or not, she proceeded on to tell him about the details of what had happened to her. It took place the night after Christmas 2011. There was a burglar who had broken into her house. When they realized they had been burglarized, the thief was long gone.  He took with him $52,000 worth of money and jewelry had vanished…

Behold The Ninja

Indeed, Todt Hill had a disturbing incident that took place in the recent past. During 2011, Staten Island saw a series of unseen crimes. He was named the ‘Ninja Burglar’ as he was very quick and silent with his successful raids. From 2005 to 2015, the Ninja Burglar robbed over 200 houses from Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Could it be the same burglar that had done this crime?

An End To His Reign

Back in the year 2015, a man named Robert Costanzo was caught in Staten Island. This guy had committed a lot of crimes in the past and had been charged with robbery too. After 2 years he finally received a prison sentence. It was now a little safer than before in the neighborhood but the old lady had lost hope of ever getting her treasure back. Matthew’s next move was something no one saw coming…

Returning The Treasure

Matthew then wanted to take the old lady to his place to see if she could identify the items that had been kept inside her safe. He was stunned by everything that had taken place. That rusted box had been sitting there in his backyard, ignored and unattended fro about 4 long years. It was amazing as Matthew took just 2 days to unravel the mystery behind this box and so much more…

Lost Then Found

The old lady was overcome with emotion as soon as she laid her eyes on the stash of money and the jewelry that she had left in the box. She held Matthew and was still shaking. It became clear that they were both honest about their stories. She had spent about 6 years coping with the reality of never seeing her treasure again. Now she found them once again and then something wonderful happened…
