Bicycle thief in Klagenfurt: 20 high -quality bikes stolen!

The Annabichl police inspection in Klagenfurt has determined a 37-year-old man from the city as a suspect in a series of burglaries in basement compartments. According to Klick-kaernten.at, the basement compartments in multi-party houses are the goal of these crimes. A total of around 20 high-quality bicycles and e-bikes were stolen, the value of which is several ten thousand euros.

The investigation led to the implementation of a house search on May 23, in which several bicycles and e-bikes, burglary tools as well as central and broken key reserves were ensured. In addition, the officials found 37 grams of cannabis in the suspect's apartment. Some of the bicycles seized were not registered as stolen. The suspect has already confessed and explained that he committed the burglaries to finance his drug addiction and to secure his livelihood.

Insurance coverage for wheel owners

In particular for owners of high-quality bicycles or e-bikes, it is advisable to take out a special bicycle or e-bike insurance, as reports gdv.de. These insurance companies offer more comprehensive protection than conventional household insurance. After theft, compensation can be higher, since the protection covers a variety of risks, including loss due to theft, vandalism and accidents. The policyholder has the choice between reimbursement in a new value or current value, which can be of considerable importance for many bicycle owners, especially for expensive models.

Overall, the current situation illustrates that the problem of bicycle thefts and burglaries remains questionable both in Klagenfurt and in German cities such as Berlin. The implementation of effective security precautions and awareness of insurance coverage are crucial to minimize the financial loss through theft.
