Car theft in Bad Säckingen: 84-year-old confuses rental cars!

On Monday, May 12, 2025, there was a curious theft in Bad Säckingen, which was almost fatal to an 84-year-old man. The senior parked his Citroen in the parking lot of a supermarket and reported it a little later than stolen. But a funny turn should follow: The Citroen was spotted a short time later in Laufenburg on the site of a car workshop.

When investigating more precisely, it turned out that the older gentleman had confused his own car with a rental car! After an appointment in the workshop, he accidentally brought back the Citroen, which he incorrectly considered his rental car. If the car had been properly closed, the confusion would never have been noticed. The Citroen landed unintentionally at the workshop while the man drove back home with his own vehicle. An incident that testifies how quickly you can get into a bizarre Situation!
