Director Riedel-Rüppel is stunned - a burglar stole several thousand euros and technology from the already battered cultural establishment.

Haar

- The small theater in Haar was broken into over the weekend.

In addition to cash worth several thousand euros, the perpetrator also stole technology.

"We were lucky in the accident," says director Matthias Riedel-Rüppel.

The burglar had also broken into the cash desk, but found nothing in it, as an attentive employee had taken out the cash register the previous evening and kept it safe somewhere else.

However, the burglar or burglars managed to get hold of the catering tills, the tip box, a private wallet and a few laptops.

"Like an assassination attempt on myself"

The burglar “must have been surprised”, says Riedel-Rüppel, “we had an event at the same time in the Church of Mary Seven Pains.” When an employee came into the theater, the thief fled over the fire escape.

Even if it is only about money, he is very affected, says the director.

After the long and difficult pandemic, the cultural industry is finally getting some breathing space again, and then something like that happens.

"I love my work - it's like an assassination attempt on myself." Even if it wasn't huge sums, the theft hits the theater hard.

Hot lead to the perpetrator

The Munich criminal police have started their investigations. According to Riedel-Rüppel, the chances of clearing up the matter are quite good, as meaningful traces such as fingerprints could be found at the crime scene. A police officer also found a stolen laptop with a trace of the perpetrator. There is also a dubious connection to an incident a few months ago: a previously unknown person had destroyed all the door locks in the Small Theater by spraying superglue on the locks. All the locks had to be replaced, except for one - and it was through this one lock that was now broken into.
