Mysterious key vandalism at Gilching S-Bahn station! Witnesses wanted!
There was recently an annoying incident at the Gilching-Geisenbrunn S-Bahn station: between Thursday evening, October 23rd, and Friday morning, October 24th, a red Alfa Romeo 159 that was parked in the P+R parking lot was vandalized. The right rear door of the vehicle was probably scratched with a key, with damage estimated at around 500 euros. The Gauting police station is now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the incident. Anyone interested is asked to call 089/893133-0 to provide possible information. [Merkur].
This damage to property is part of a broader trend in crime in Germany, which is perceived as worrying in many places. According to the Police Crime Statistics (PKS) from the Federal Criminal Police Office, the number of crimes fell by 1.7% in 2024, but many citizens feel unsafe due to specific crimes. In particular, the increase in property and counterfeit crimes as well as brutality crimes plays a role. Statistics show that North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have high crime rates. In addition, the dark field studies make it clear that many crimes, such as rape, are not reported and are therefore not recorded in the statistics Statista.
The importance of witnesses
Particularly in incidents like the one described above, the participation of the public is crucial. Many people's sense of security has been dampened by such damage to property in the neighborhood, and the police are now relying on the support of witnesses to find perpetrators. This increases the chance that such incidents can be prevented in the future.
Nevertheless, there is also good news in the world of Alfa Romeo. A special kind of red Alfa Romeo is for sale: a 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600, which is being offered for sale by the family of the original owner after his death about a year ago. The price of $37,500 CAD is negotiable and the vehicle is in fair to good condition. A special incentive is the support in creating a history and photo library of the vehicle for true car enthusiasts. Interested buyers can look forward to an inspection by August 2026 as well as problem-free functionality, proven by a 50 km test run in June 2025. More information is available via AlfaBB.
