Thieves did not come on a special train, but with a Flex!
The contemplative Gronau (NRW) on the Dutch border. Birthplace of Udo Lindenberg (72) and scene of a brutal flight on weekends. Some time between Friday and Monday, a small bronze statue of Lindenberg (1.30 meters, 40 kilos, costs 7750 euros, called "Linden-Zwerg")) probably sawn from its socket with a grinder of Flex angle.
More detailed information does not exist. Because although the statue is in a roundabout near the birthplace of Lindenberg, no one noticed the crime until Tuesday. The police are suspicious. Spokesperson Thorsten Ohm: "We asked ourselves that the advertisement was only made now.The crime scene was in the middle of the city."
The officials do not panic, although the thieves may disappear behind the unknown horizon . Ohm: "We identify ourselves in all directions, the motive is still unclear, it may well be that they were metal thieves." It's unclear whether a piano teacher at the saw is suspected …
► It could have been even worse! The "Linden Dwarf" is only a substitute. There is still a large bronze Lindenberg (2.80 meters, 300 kilos). For this reason, Udo had some quirks (foot cracks), it was extracted in April. Since then, he has been lying on a backyard waiting to be repaired.
