Little man very big: outstanding and polite
As the Aachen police report, one word is hardly enough to describe the behavior of an 11-year-old boy from Aachen: Hats off, great, great, brave are just a few adjectives. Overall, “outstanding” is probably not too high.
We're talking about a boy who was home alone for a short time when burglars got to work. The boy fled outside, called “110”, scared the burglars away and gave good tips... How he did that not only earned him praise from the police.
But one after anonther:
The boy was home alone on Thursday morning last week. The father was at work and the mother was out shopping at short notice. Exactly the time when two burglars try to break open the patio door of the house. The little boy hears the noises, goes into the living room and sees two men at the patio door. At first he thinks they are craftsmen. But when they try to break the window rather unprofessionally with an “iron weapon”, he has concerns.
“Something’s wrong here,”
he later told police. He hides on a couch. When the two men punch a hole in the patio door, he grabs his cell phone and runs out the front door.
By his “Help!” “My house is being broken into!” a passer-by becomes aware. But not just them, the perpetrators too. They escape, running through the garden of the house. While the boy dials “110” and tells the police control center that his house (!) on So-and-so Street is currently being broken into, he also gives the license plate number of a passing car in which he suspects the fleeing perpetrators are .
When the police arrived, the 11-year-old explained the facts - calmly and completely objectively. His mother had arrived in the meantime. She stroked her hero's head. He then did nothing other than fetch a glass of water for the police officer he had been talking to the whole time. It was hot after all...
It later emerged during the investigation that the license plate number that the boy had given had nothing to do with the crime. Also good. At least that could be ruled out.
The colleagues who were there were impressed by the boy's behavior. We are too – just reading the facts. Therefore, the first paragraph applies in full.
