In the context of these theft attempts, a general phenomenon becomes apparent: crime has been a recurring topic in society in recent years. An analysis of Statista shows an interesting development. In 2024, the number of registered crimes in Germany fell by 1.7% to around 5.84 million. According to the police crime statistics (PKS), the main reason for this decline is the reduced cannabis offenses, which can be attributed to the partial legalization from April 1, 2024.
