Guessed burglar: angry letter in the Mercdes ensures laughter!

Erlachgasse, 1100 Wien, Österreich - There are news from the 10th district that show how creative those affected can react to burglaries. On Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., a black Mercedes ML was discovered in Erlachgasse, the broken side window of which was wearing an unusual message. A passer -by had noticed the vehicle and reported that it could be read on the disc: "Libe Zapzarapper, twice you have my glass f ***. The remarkable message not only reflects frustration, but also ensures smile among the residents. The reference to an empty trunk suggests that there is nothing left to steal after the driver obviously was victim of burglars for the second time. This type of notification could serve as a encouragement for other affected people who are also annoyed by the increase in burglaries in Vienna. According to [today] (https://www.heute.at/s/libe-zapzarapperapperopter-victim-writer writing-120113207), teenage gangs are particularly active that recently unsettled the city.

But the Situation is not only bizarre, but also alarming. In 2024, burglary figures have increased as much as they have been in years. As can be seen from a report by Vienna, 32,966 burglaries were registered alone. A worrying increase of 4.7% compared to the previous year. This unpleasant trend winding is partly due to the increased youth crime. Statistics show that the number of suspected young people under the age of 18 from 2010 to 2024 has exploded, from 8,360 to 14,804.

insights into police work

The police have already reacted to this concerned situation and has dug a sluggish in Vienna and Lower Austria. In an article published at the end of January (https://www.meinbezirk.at/liesing/c-lokales/sereinbruchs-band-in- and-noe- von-polpoli-police, it was explained that several suspects have been arrested in various Vienna districts in the past few months. The increase in burglaries in cars has almost doubled from 2,182 to 4,909. The police learn support from an interdisciplinary working group, which was created especially for child and youth crime in order to better counteract this development.

Statistics speaks a clear language: The police advertisements in Vienna rose from 186,475 in 2023 to 194,981 in 2024. This has been reached for two decades, which was further under pressure. The clearance rate also dropped from 44.3% to 43.4%, which means that not only the number of crimes increases, but also becoming increasingly difficult to clarify these acts.

What can affected citizens do? It is to be hoped that the latest police measures will have an effect and that crime in Vienna can be attributed to a tolerable level. Until then, the Viennese are still required to remain vigilant and to immediately notify the authorities in the event of suspicion or a break -in.
