Art thieves leave chaos behind: burglary of goods in castles!

A remarkable break-in occurred over the weekend in a house in Schloen near Waren (Müritz), which came into the public eye not only because of the theft of a valuable cast bronze figure, but also because of the devastation that the perpetrators left behind. According to a report by the Uckermark courier, the break-in occurred between 6 p.m. Saturday evening and 1 a.m. Sunday while the homeowners were away.

The perpetrators stole a 30 to 35 centimeter high statue of the artist Father Makolies, which, together with its base, represents a high value. But that wasn't all: the burglars destroyed the entire house. Not only did they tamper with the valuable art, they also threw eggs on the walls and flooded the kitchen with a kind of bubble bath. Other edibles were found scattered throughout the property. The total damage caused by the theft and devastation is estimated at several thousand euros.

The search for witnesses

The Waren police are now urgently looking for witnesses who saw conspicuous people or vehicles on Devener Weg during the time of the crime. Information can be given to the Waren police on 03991 1760. Art enthusiasts and art dealers in particular are asked to pay attention to the stolen sculpture as it may be offered for sale.

A burglary not only refers to unauthorized access to a protected area, but is often accompanied by other crimes such as theft or damage to property. Burglaries are particularly common in Germany and often result in serious damage, such as broken doors and windows. According to the article on Wikipedia, burglary is the most common form of this crime and occurs in a legal context that includes paragraphs on theft, trespassing and damage to property. However, the clearance rate for burglaries in Germany has only been between 13 and 20 percent in recent decades, which illustrates the frightening reality of these crimes.

Prevention is required

This makes burglary protection measures all the more important. This includes both physical obstacles such as fences and security doors as well as technical security solutions such as burglar alarm systems. Another point is presence simulation, as is possible with modern smart home technologies. All of this could help increase the protection of homes and deter potential perpetrators.

Regardless of this specific crime, it is advisable these days to deal with the issue of burglary protection. Knowledgeable advice from experts and investing in security technology could make the crucial difference in many cases. In this regard, it is important to have a good hand when choosing security measures.

What happened in Schloen affected many neighbors, and it remains to be hoped that with the help of the public, those responsible will be caught quickly. The art community should be on the lookout and pay attention so that the stolen statue can soon find its way back.
