A curious police operation occurred at the beginning of the year in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: out of anger about a parking offender, a local resident resorted to vigilante justice.

Kaltenbrunn - If you had seen it earlier in crime series like "Hubert & Staller" or "Bullen von Tölz", you would have said to yourself: "Ah, that never happens!" the popular television productions.

Film-ready scenes in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: Bulldog pushes parking offenders

The events on Sunday morning in the Garmisch-Partenkirchner district of Kaltenbrunn would have what it takes for a TV scene.

A murder would probably be missing for the big breakthrough, which fortunately did not occur in the present case of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen police station.

But even so it is something to smile about - fresh in the New Year: After all, a Kaltenbrunner put an interesting end to a long-standing dispute with a road user.

He pushed a vehicle that had been parked on his property for a long time with his Bulldog across the site, then across the main road to the cross-country parking lot in the immediate vicinity of the disused train station.

With all the accompanying phenomena: Because the car rolled over when attempting to remove it, remained lying on the roof, lost a few attachments before it finally came to a standstill - and was later towed away on police orders.

Strange use in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: Bulldog pushes parking offenders into parking lot

The police do not see such operations every day. Perhaps it would not have been so easy to resolve had it not been for a trail through the town. From the point in time when the Opel Corsa Cabrio overturned in the middle of the main road and landed on the roof, it left a trail of splinters from broken windows, but other body parts also lined the path to the repository for the car that was now ready for scrap.

In the said parking lot on the railway line, a road user finally discovered the car and called the police at 7.45 a.m.

He suspected that there might have been an accident.

Wrong speculation.

But that was the only way things had taken their course at all.

Because the officials drove to Kaltenbrunn and then followed the trail to the perpetrator's property.

The police officers were able to quickly give the all-clear for the emergency services such as the emergency doctor and the fire brigade, which had been alerted in the meantime.

Their appearance was definitely not necessary.

More like the towing service.

Bulldog pushes parking offenders: Did Austrians want to dispose of their cars?

What actually happened now, the landowner was apparently relatively willing to put on record. "The vehicle has apparently been standing on his property for a long time, not directly in the courtyard entrance, but in a large parking lot," emphasized a police spokesman in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The Kaltenbrunner had even contacted the man who had left the car there several times. This is a Tyrolean who lives in a place "just across the border", as the police report. The car itself, however, had a Hungarian registration number. The landowner received no replies to his messages. The police even think it is possible that the Austrian wanted to dispose of the vehicle in this way.

In any case, it was too colorful for Kaltenbrunner on Sunday.

He resorted to vigilante justice.

"He made short work of it," says the police spokesman.

With the Bulldog he wanted to move the car from its bottom - over to the large square at the train station.

But the disposal campaign didn't go that smoothly.

The car was finally totaled, but the experts only put it at around 1,600 euros.

And the angry Kaltenbrunner must now expect a complaint for damage to property.

It is currently not clear to what extent the owner of the Opel could actually run into problems: According to the police, he only committed an administrative offense when the vehicle no longer had a valid registration.

However, this has not yet been determined.
