VW Bulli stolen in Lostau – police start a search!
Sad news from the Möser area: On July 9, 2025, a white VW T5, which was parked correctly on Heidestraße in the Lostau district, was stolen by unknown perpetrators between 7:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. the following day. A sticker on the lower door area of the vehicle was particularly noticeable and could be helpful in the search. The police have already taken measures to find the van, but the increase in car thefts is causing worried faces. The ADAC reports that the number of car thefts in Germany rose by almost 20% in 2023.
Across the country, car thieves are more active than ever, and in Berlin alone a vehicle disappears on average every two hours. The majority of thefts here occur in the VW division, which tops the list with 1,810 stolen vehicles, followed by Toyota. According to statistics from the General Association of German Insurers (GDV), the economic damage caused by car theft in Germany amounts to an alarming 310 million euros. With these numbers, it's no wonder that drivers are increasingly thinking about safety systems.
Traffic stops and accident escapes
On July 10, 2025, the police carried out speed checks in Burg, more precisely on the main street of Niegripp. Of the 30 vehicles that drove past, two exceeded the speed limit of 30 km/h. The fastest driver was caught at 49 km/h - good driving skills don't help!
But it's not just speeding that concerns the police. Right at the beginning of today, on July 11, 2025, at 12:05 a.m. in Jerichow OT Demsin, an incident involving a hit-and-run was reported. A resident was woken up by a loud bang and discovered that an unknown vehicle had damaged both her car and a garbage can. Parts of the vehicle responsible for the accident were secured and there is still hope for an investigation.
Vandalism and social responsibility
Early on the same day, at 8:45 a.m., police officers discovered a swastika measuring approximately 35 x 35 centimeters on Burg Uferstrasse that had been applied with black spray paint. It was quickly made unrecognizable. Such incidents highlight the need to combat vandalism and extremism and hold civil society accountable.
The worrying developments regarding car thefts and the numerous traffic offenders make it clear: the issue of safety is more important than ever these days. The ADAC and GDV not only provide information on statistics, but also on insurance options that apply in the event of theft. Partial and fully comprehensive insurance provides support in the event of the loss of a vehicle and the replacement of stolen or damaged parts.
A look at the statistics makes it clear that it is time for drivers to take proactive measures to protect their vehicles. After all, no one wants to lose a good vehicle in the blink of an eye, especially in a city where car theft cases are skyrocketing.
