car theft: Cologne actor is looking for his VW Bulli
Engelbert Kobelun, a Cologne actor, is desperate in search of his red VW T4 Bulli, who has accompanied him in his professional and personal life for almost two decades. The Bulli was not only a practical vehicle, but also had a family -like character for Kobelun. Unfortunately, the van was stolen on the night of March 9 after it was properly parked and secured.
The situation developed dramatically when Kobelun found that his beloved vehicle was no longer in his place in the morning. Despite an advertisement by the police, the hope of finding his Bullis remains weak. Kobelun expressed his disappointment about the lack of commitment from the police and therefore took his own measures to get his Bulli back. He mobilized his neighborhood and used social media to search for the vehicle even offers a reward of 500 euros for useful information.
was in need: Kobelun is the goal of fraudsters
In the middle of his desperate search, Kobelun was also faced with fraud attempts. Several people contacted him with misleading information about his Bulli and asked for money in exchange for alleged information. However, Kobelun was able to see through this attempts to fraud and then informed the police.
The police are aware of the problem and report that such fraudulent inquiries often occur, especially after theft reports on social media. The crime statistics show that although a medium single-digit number of VW Bullis was stolen in Cologne, the police cannot establish a direct connection between the different thefts.
Theft and property damage: A growing problem in Cologne
The fear of further thefts and property damage can be felt in Cologne residential areas. Several car and motorhome owners report incidents in which tires were stabbed or other property damage caused. These problems contribute to the general resentment in the residential areas, as parking spaces are increasingly rare and incidents impair the feeling of security of the residents.
Despite the setbacks, Kobelun does not give up hope. A recently rediscovered stolen Bulli from his neighborhood gives him reason to assume that his vehicle could possibly reappear one day. The Cologne police are actively in the monitoring of vehicle theft worries and encourages citizens to vigilance.
