Mercedes worth 100,000 euros stopped on the A9 – embezzlement!

On Friday, November 10, 2025, a spectacular incident on the A9 motorway near Bayreuth caused a stir. A luxurious Mercedes, which was considered embezzled since the end of September, was stopped by traffic police officers. The car, whose value is estimated at over 100,000 euros, caught the eye of the police during a traffic stop around 1 p.m. A check in the police data system quickly brought to light the crucial wanted clue, which led to the vehicle being seized.

A 27-year-old German man was sitting in the passenger seat of the coupe and is now facing criminal charges of embezzlement. The Bayreuth criminal police have started the investigation and are working closely with the Munich criminal police. Such incidents illustrate the responsibility of the police, who must remain vigilant in traffic in order to detect and prevent such cases in good time. The incident raises questions about the safety of high-value vehicles, which are often targeted by criminals.

Technical challenges in everyday life

The challenge is particularly pressing because the store can apparently only provide invoices via WhatsApp. Imp Bron then recommended using Gmail to send invoices—a measure that other users also support. In view of these technical hurdles, those affected are not only discussing the problems, but also possible alternative methods, such as the use of infrared (IR) for invoice transmission.

Financial considerations and precautions

NerdWallet analyzed more than 60 investment account providers to offer users the best options. This also gave rise to the concept of a so-called “direct rollover,” in which the money is transferred directly to the new retirement account without any detours—a practical solution to avoid taxes on the withdrawal.
