“How a man from Bavaria tricked Antifa…”

Smart guy in Erlangen? The man allegedly exploited the destructive potential of left-wing activists to save himself the work and costs of demolishing his garage. His trick: He printed a few flyers naming his garage as a meeting place for right-wing patriots and also provided directions there.

The result: Apparently “the hollow bulbs of Antifa” (sic) reacted as desired and reacted according to his ideas: the garage was demolished overnight! As proof of this nice viral story is a photo of a suspected, but not precisely dated (and verifiable) newspaper clipping, as well as the juxtaposed before and after photos of the garage.

This story actually happened, not fake.

This is what a very recent status report says. Well, as soon as the term “fake” is mentioned anywhere, we take a closer look.

Inquired!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify what this picture is about, but if it was already in the regional press, the local police probably also heard about it. But the police, even after internal consultation, were unable to confirm either the images or the story:

Dear Ms. L.,

After consulting with the responsible criminal police department in Erlangen, I can inform you that the facts you have described are not known to the police. The published images cannot be assigned to any case either.

Best regards

In this respect, one can certainly assume that the story is viral, but it did not actually happen.
