Now we have had a few weeks of peace and quiet from reports of any vans and vans whose (mostly) Eastern European drivers are thieves, organ dealers, animal thieves or even all of these at the same time.
A few days ago, however, this status message appeared, which is again being widely shared and spreading fear:
The text:
Danger ! An anthracite-colored VW Bulli with the official registration number XX-XX-XXX is driving through Bad Oeynhausen, the bus is driven by two apparently Eastern European drivers. The two of them go to front doors and want to get into the house under the pretense of having the roof done for free...according to file number XY These are NOT craftsmen but organized gangs who want to rob apartments...please share..Thank you
If you look at the comments now, you'll notice that there's a lot of talk about the alleged behavior of the local police. Well, that's exactly what we were able to clarify with our own call to the police in Bad Oeynhausen
Telephone information from the Bad Oeynhausen police
There is no information about this case.
According to the police, these rumors keep coming up.
The nationality and the license plates change like day and night. The police therefore always ask the public to use common sense:
Don't let strangers into your house.
Please reject offers from so-called migrant workers who want to earn a few marks on the side.
Especially if the line is even offered free of charge.
DO NOT post YOUR OWN CALLS on social networks.
The police are responsible for educating the population.
A clear statement!
According to the police, calls like these should be viewed with skepticism.
In principle, you have the option of obtaining information from your local police authority. This will help the population and the police more than scaremongering via social media.
Right to your own image
The article shown here carries with it another danger:
2 license plates can be clearly seen in the picture, as well as the primarily important license plate can be read as plain text in the message.
The right to one's own image is clearly being violated here and the owners of the motor vehicles would ultimately even have the right to file a complaint because their personal rights were being violated. Anyone who has shared this post is in a rather awkward position. We point that out.
