Mysterious thief: waiter's purse disappeared without a trace in the Jever restaurant!
A remarkable incident occurred in a restaurant on Addernhausener Straße in Jever on June 12, 2025, around 4:30 p.m., which brought the police to the scene. A man who said he had made an appointment with the manager quickly disappeared - along with a waiter's wallet containing cash. The restaurant staff discovered the loss a short time later and immediately informed the authorities. An employee was able to identify the perpetrator because he had already had a conversation about possible employment the previous week. However, the managing director was not on site at the time of the incident, which complicated the situation. In a phone call with him, it turned out that no meeting had actually been scheduled.

But what is really behind this bold scam? The perpetrator apparently intended to carelessly store the money that was behind the cashier counter. When he was asked to sit near the counter, he had enough time to steal the waiter's purse. presseportal.de describes that another employee was also able to identify the man by name, which made the investigation much easier.
Theft in context
The current situation in Germany shows that thefts are not just isolated cases. According to an analysis by statista.com, around 1.78 million thefts were recorded by the police in Germany in 2022. The theft of other people's property is a recurring problem that has increased in recent years. In this context, the incident in Jever is another example of the challenges that restaurants and other service providers often face.
This theft occurred not only at a time when such crimes are on the rise, but also in an industry that is already struggling with numerous challenges. In addition to physical theft, many businesses also suffer from concerns that the safety of their employees and property is at risk. In North Rhine-Westphalia, there are enormous differences in the clearance rate for thefts, which, for example, was only 16.1% for residential burglaries in 2022.
The investigation is currently ongoing and the police are asking potential witnesses or acquaintances of the suspect to come forward in order to provide further information and hopefully shed light on the matter. These findings remind us that crime is a constant part of everyday life - and that we, whether restaurateurs or guests, should always be careful.
