Burglaries in Lübeck allotment gardens: Police warn of increasing danger!
In Lübeck there is great concern among allotment gardeners. The darkness of the season not only brings with it cold temperatures, but also an increasing number of break-ins into allotments. This is shown by the current report from ln-online, which points to around 100 break-ins this year. Garden lovers from the Buntekuh and Kücknitz districts are particularly concerned, where, according to statistics, the most break-ins are recorded.
A tragic story is that of Marion Sobieski, a 61-year-old allotment gardener from Buntekuh. She has already been robbed in her garden 13 times. She suffered financial damage of around 2,000 euros, which is causing increased fear among many of her neighbors. Ulli Fritz Gerlach, press spokesman for the Lübeck Police Department, notes that the damage to property is often significantly higher than the value of the stolen items. Compared to last year, the number of break-ins could even increase slightly, making the situation even more tense.
Burglary prevention tips
- Werkzeuge und Elektrogeräte sollten personalisiert und dokumentiert werden, etwa durch Fotos und Seriennummern.
- Regelmäßige, wöchentliche Kontrollen der Parzellen, auch während des Winters, sind unerlässlich.
- Eine Vernetzung mit Nachbarn zur Meldung verdächtiger Aktivitäten kann Leben retten.
- Wer über Gartengeräte verfügt, sollte darauf achten, sie so zu lagern, dass sie nicht als Einbruchshilfe verwendet werden können.
The police provide information materials for allotment associations, including prevention posters and flyers, which are available both digitally and in print. Further information about burglary protection can be found on the police website www.polizei-beratung.de as well as under www.k-einbruch.de available.
The rural idyll of the allotment gardens must not be marred by break-ins. The growing numbers should motivate garden owners to take action to protect their retreats even in the dark season. It remains to be hoped that the prevention campaign will have an impact and trigger greater safety awareness in the communities. Because a safe garden also means a quality of life and the joy of gardening.
