VfB fans steal a carnival helmet with emotional value – now there is a happy ending. A guardsman's helmet from the Red Sparks - also called "Laberdan" - was stolen at the beginning of February.

The valuable item from his uniform was handed in to the police in Stuttgart on Wednesday (February 21st) - around three weeks after the brazen theft. A similar act happened last year: Back then, the Old Town dancing couple's vehicle was broken into - and the Tanzmarie's barrel was stolen.
