Horrible: Local Sefer Torah Stolen Within Locked Safe

A safe containing a Sefer Torah was stolen from a local Yeshiva in Far Rockaway.

It seems that the Torah was on loan to the Yeshiva and the owner was told by police to try and spread this info far & wide in the hopes of finding the Torah and apprehending the suspects.
