Unknown man throws car tires off roof terrace – police are looking for witnesses!
On August 23, 2025, a serious incident occurred in Bludenz, specifically at Rathausgasse 3, in which a car tire and rim were thrown from a roof terrace onto the street. The perpetrator responsible is still unknown. According to vol.at the incident happened at around 5:05 p.m. and resulted in damage to a resident's property, whose window was broken by the impact of the tire. The tire fell from a height of about ten meters, which not only caused a loud bang but also posed a serious issue for security authorities.
The police are currently looking for witnesses who can provide information about the incident. Luckily there were no injuries, but the damage to property raises questions about responsibility and possible legal consequences. Anyone who owns a damaged item is obliged to report it so that the police can initiate an investigation; this is also explained in detail in the bussgeldkatalog.de. Damage to property, as is the case in this case, is regulated in the Criminal Code (StGB). According to Section 303 of the Criminal Code, intentionally damaging or destroying someone else's property is punishable.
Legal consequences of property damage
In the event of property damage, various aspects must be taken into account. The objective offense of Section 303 StGB is fulfilled if the substance of an item is significantly violated or its usability is impaired. The definition includes both movable and immovable objects, although they must be foreign property. The result is criminal prosecution, which in the worst case can lead to a prison sentence of up to two years, as uni-potsdam.de highlights.
If damage to property can be proven, the perpetrator can be prosecuted and be required to reimburse the damage caused. In addition, damage to property is one of the most common crimes in the German legal system and is often accompanied by civil law proceedings in which the injured party can claim compensation. It should be noted that damage to property expires after five years, as stipulated in the Criminal Code.
Given the seriousness of the incident in Bludenz and the possible legal consequences, it is recommended that you report the incident. The Bludenz police station has set up a contact number on +43 (0) 59 133 8100 to receive tips and witness reports.
