The police warn of an alleged burglary with which long fingers try to find vacant apartments. You should pay attention to one detail.
You open the door and a foam part falls to the floor? Then you should call the police. In Mainz, the front door of a single-family home was prepared in this way. Previously, the residents had noticed an unknown man who was at the front door at lunchtime but had not rung the doorbell.
Brazen intrusion? That could be behind it
Behind the foam part could be a sophisticated mesh of burglars , as the Mainz police suspected at the time. The foam is probably stuck between the door to find out whether the apartment has been recently entered - if it is on the floor, the burglar knows that the door has been opened and that someone is at home. However, if the foam is in it for a long time, the resident could be on vacation. So the perfect opportunity for burglars to strike .
The Mainz police advise you to put such preparation items aside in a manner that is gentle on the traces and to inform the officials .
