Brazen boat thieves on the Lübbesee: Ultimatum for the perpetrators!

Brazen boat thieves on the Lübbesee: Ultimatum for the perpetrators!

Ahrensdorf, Deutschland - A shocking incident shaked the boat owner living around the Lübbesee near Ahrensdorf. Daniel Voigt, a member of the “Kleiner Eichwerder” interest group, had to announce the theft of his blue rowboat of the Dinghi brand. This event is already the sixth boating theft at the same berth last year, a development that alerts water sports enthusiasts in the region. So reports nnn.de about the cruel discovery: Voigt found his boat a few days after the theft on a remote bank again, but in a complained state- damaged and dirty.

Voigt has now asked the perpetrators to report within two weeks in order to compensate for the damaged damage of around 500 euros or alternatively donate the sum to a non -profit association. A clear call with the aim of not only making your own loss, but also supporting the community. He also demands an apology. If nobody reports by June 29, Voigt plans to take criminal law steps and filed a complaint. In order to clarify the case, he asks the citizens for clues that are of course treated confidentially.

The connection with boot thefts in Germany

The alarm bells do not only ring in Ahrensdorf. The competence center for boot crime, which not only leads statistics, but also offers insights into the general location, has a large part in the public discussion about boating thefts. According to a recently published annual statistics, theft of outboard engines has dropped by 10 % to 531 cases, which is a historical low. Last year up to 1,500 outboard engines were stolen in Germany per year. Dennoch gab es bei Sportbooten einen Anstieg der Diebstähle von 140 auf 160 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr, was zwar besorgniserregend ist, jedoch der zweitniedrigste Wert seit Beginn der Auswertungen darstellt, wie yacht.de explained.

The interlocking system of police and other institutions, which is also one of the prerequisites for the report of thefts, could at least partially be responsible for the fact that the numbers do not increase further. The report of theft is a crucial step that should be supplemented by an official advertisement from the police and the notification to boat insurance. A message to the ADAC also includes updating the boat registration, such as "https://skipper.adac.de/bootskennichen/diebiehl/" Class = "source_2"> skipper.adac.de can be read.

With a review of the historical figures, it can be seen that around 10,000 boats and 60,000 outboard were still stolen in Europe in 2001, which is in contrast to the 4,000 boats and 25,000 outboard in 2023. This speaks for improved international cooperation in clarifying thefts.
