A Kings County carpenter
has developed a low-tech security
device that he claims
would defeat the scourge of
package pirates plaguing
the borough — if only people
would buy it!
Inventor Bob James
chained his anti-thievery
device, called a “Bob Box,”
to a light post at Remsen
Street near Borough Hall last
Wednesday, as part of a guerrilla
marketing campaign designed
to drum up interest in
what’s undeniably an awkward
looking creation.
But the Bob Box, which appears
like a cross between a
wood chipper and a mailbox,
met a lukewarm reception
from passersby, including one
woman who noted that the box,
while good in theory, might
not work so well in practice.
“I can defi nitely understand
the need for that because
I’ve always said, society
is not ready for all this online
shopping,” said Evaleen, who
didn’t give her last name. “I

think it could be a little more
compact, the design needs to
be jazzed up a little, because I
don’t know if anyone is going
to want that in their yard like
that.”
James, a Bedford-Stuyvesant
retiree, designed his
namesake box — which serves
as a secure, curb-side package
receptacle that’s accessible by
key — as an answer to the dramatic
rise in package thievery
throughout the borough.
But the handcrafted security
device costs a whopping
$199, is made entirely out of
wood, and features a comically
large nozzle jutting out from
the storage compartment,
which one local said made the
Bob Box less than ideal for the
mean streets of Brooklyn.
“I think it’s an interesting
idea if you have a private home,
but here in the city, I can’t
imagine it,” said Jon Berall.
“One more thing like this in
front of the apartment house?
It’s just another big thing that’s
going to fall apart.”
However, the inventor
said it’s exactly the Bob Box’s
low-tech nature that makes it
an ideal deterrent for Kings
County package pirates.
“You don’t need to maintain
batteries or give codes to
deliverers,” he said. “The only
thing you lose is the package
pirate blues.”
So far, James has yet to sell
any of his Bob Boxes, despite
a guerrilla marketing campaign

that’s seen him install
devices outside subway stops
in Bedford-Stuyvesant and
Williamsburg, in addition to
the Borough Hall box.
But those stunts unfortunately
violate the city’s administrative
code, which makes it
illegal to leave any box, barrel,
bale of merchandise or other
movable property on a public
street or place, and James relocated
the Remsen street container
shortly after installing
it.
“I have to move that box —
it can’t be there,” he admitted.
Anyone interested in being
the very fi rst, proud owner of
a Bob Box can reach James at

This One Thing Can Lead You To Freedom From Knee
Pain and Save You From A Knee Replacement…
You feel frustrated and sick and tired of feeling like
you are in your 90’s when you are trying to enjoy your
early retirement. Now you’re walking down the stairs
sideways step-by-step like a baby afraid your knee will
buckle. Popping Solgar No.7 vitamins and Glucosamine
pills for breakfast, has you feeling frustrated, because
the gel shots, the braces and the icy hot and Physical
Therapy is making things worse. The pain is so bad that
the sleeping is getting harder. 9 haunting words from the
knee specialist you saw echo in your head “Maybe you
should consider the knee replacement surgery soon…”
WAIT! DON’T GIVE UP… NEVER
GIVE UP HERE’S WHY…
I agree with you and it’s not your fault that the old
fashioned way of treating knee arthritis with the same
old rooster shots (hyaluronic acid injection) FAILED
YOU – just a short term bandaid! Yes, even if they
tell you they use ultrasound guided and fluoroscopic
precision xrays to put the injection in the exact place
where the bone is touching bone, it’s still the same old
placebo potion delivered in a fancier way. Ok…it helps
for some, but for you it was a waste of time… am I right?
YOUR KNEE ARTHRITIS IS
COMPARED TO A “TOOTH DECAY
CAVITY” YET THAT’S NOT THE
TRUTH…
I want to ask you a really BIG question…ok? Do you
really think that there is science backing the theory of
gel shots? Your answer was “I dunno”! The only thing
that is backing those shots, is science that Medicare
pays some money for the doctor’s appointment to
examine you! Those shots cost $500 to you! These
shots are as guaranteed as hitting the lottery!
VITAMINS DON’T WORK AND
HERE’S WHY…
Do you really think that glucosamine will reach your
joint? Honestly, you are swallowing a water pill and
you need to know that there is a huge placebo effect.
OK THIS IS A PROMISE OF A REAL
SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION NOT A
WATER PILL…
I agree with you that the Traditional Physical Therapy
DID NOT WORK! Actually it worsened your condition
especially when you were told to ride the bike, right?
SO WHAT! COME ON I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL
THERAPY AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT TRADITIONAL
THERAPY JUST WON’T WORK! I DO KNOW WHAT
WORKS.
ACTUALLY 387 REAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE LAST 5
YEARS HAVE CALLED ME PERSONALLY TO CONSULT ME
FOR A SECOND OPINION TO HAVING KNEE SURGERY
BECAUSE MY PROPRIETARY SYSTEM GETS RESULTS …
NO THIS IS NOT STEM CELLS!
Stem cells cost $5,000 and get zero results, because
there is zero proof that they work. Don’t do it! NO NOT
PRP SHOTS! Taking blood and spinning it in a centrifuge
these $1,000 injections can heal your arthritis. PRP
works for other issues just not arthritis. I know because
I spent the last 3 years being mentored by the top Sports
Medicine PRP and STEM CELL experts in the country
and I saw with my own eyes what works and here it is…

WHAT IS KNEE DEROTATION AND
REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY?
Forget what you just read! Let’s focus on the next few
lines below…
Your hip is like the axle of a car, your knee a shock
absorber and your foot the tires… make a mental image,
close your eyes so you can picture it now.
Can you drive a car with a flat tire? Yes, sure you can,
but you know after sometime what will happen is the
shock from the street will destroy the shock absorbers
between the axle and the tire, as the car rolls over the
pot holes… Can you drive a car with a misaligned axle?
Sure you can but after sometime the car starts to pull in
one direction and the shock absorber begins to wear out.
THAT’S YOUR KNEE! IT’S A SHOCK
ABSORBER!
KNEE DEROTATION AND REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY
uses a non-radiation-based laser scanner that instantly
analyzes your hip, knee and ankle alignment looking
for the exact misalignment angle. Traditional xrays
look only at the knee joint and don’t take the hip and
ankle into account causing Doctors to misjudge what is
really the true cause of the bone-on-bone in your knee.
Whether it’s your hip, or your foot and ankle, our scanner
shows us the exact measurements telling us how to
derotate your hip—based on kinesiology (the science
of muscles, bones and nerves). A few centimeters of
derotation will decompress and realign your hip, turning
on a critical small muscle deep in the buttock called the
short rotator. We do this while we gently pull your hip
with a decompression pulley device. Simply put, we
activate your weak unused hip muscle.
Arthritis Research and Therapy 18 Article 255
Functional electrical stimulation of gluteus medius have
shown that once the muscle is turned on the hip levels
out and unpinches the inside of the knee during walking.
Unicompartmental arthritis is what doctors call the pain
on the inner part of your knee and worn out meniscus.
This is exactly what we attempt to decompress using
this derotation method. During the derotation, we use
a tool called deep muscle stimulator to break up the
scar tissue in the inner knee while the hip is stretched
and derotated. And let me tell you it works and it lasts.
