Theft at the street festival: two pedelecs worth 10,000 euros stolen
on September 1, 2024, on a colorful Sunday evening, a street festival took place in Lörrach, which attracted numerous visitors. Unfortunately, this happy occasion was overshadowed by a shocking incident: two high -quality pedelecs from the renowned Canyon brand were stolen. The bicycles, which represent a total value of over 10,000 euros, were properly completed and stood in Stettengasse, near the Weiherweg.
In the period between 8:00 p.m. and 9.40 p.m., the pedelecs were targeted by unknown perpetrators. It is uncertain how the thieves managed to steal the bicycles unnoticed while the festival was at its climax around them. Such incidents also highlight the security at events that attract large crowds.
The meaning of the incident
This theft is not only a painful loss for the owners concerned, but also raises questions about security. At larger events, it is often assumed that in the middle of happy activities there are no criminal acts. But as this incident shows, such assumptions are deceptive. It is not uncommon for bicycles and other valuables in festive environments to steal, since the crowds and distractions offer cover to the perpetrators.
The police have already started investigations. But the exact circumstances of the theft are still unclear. It is to be hoped that the security forces will quickly track down the perpetrators and may even be able to regain the bicycles. According to such incidents, it is also advisable for organizers to take increased security measures in order to prevent such incidents in the future.
The loss not only costs money, but also the joy that many of us combine by cycling. The pedelecs are much more than just a means of transport; They stand for freedom and mobility - values that are considerably threatened by such criminal acts. The social relevance of bicycles, especially high-quality e-bikes, cannot be emphasized enough.
Visitors to street parties are often careful to keep an eye on their valuables. But theft shows that even in apparently safe environments, one should always be vigilant. One should be aware that crime can occur at any time and anywhere, even in the most pleasant moments of life.
