The Oktoberfest also has strange experiences in store for the Munich police.
The officials are now reporting on Twitter about their latest “Wiesnschmankerl”.
Munich - Marquee, beer and costumes as far as the eye can see characterize the Theresienwiese again this year at the Oktoberfest.
These 17 days a year are also a special time for the Munich police.
A time not only associated with great effort, but also with one or the other curious experience.
The officials are now sharing their latest “Wiesnschmankerl” on their Twitter account – much to the delight of their followers.
And of course in Bavarian, of course.
Oktoberfest in Munich: Police report "Wiesnschmankerl" - It's probably about "Weghoibe"
“Wiesnschmankerl”, the Twitter post begins with this hashtag.
"That's it, no ned voi!
To quench his thirst, a guest hopped over the counter after closing time and introduced self-service in the taproom.
At the exit, we took his liquid booty from him," reports the police.
To round off the post properly, it ends with the hashtag #Weghoibe.
#Wiesnschmankerl That's it,

At the exit, we took his liquid prey from him.

The network reacted to the post more than amused – this is also reflected in the comments.
"Oh, you were thirsty too?
(Just to be on the safe side: a joke),” writes one user.
The police's return carriage is not long in coming: "As is well known, thirst increases at the end of the day.
(Just to be sure: I'm joking.)"

For others, the post triggers one or wild speculation: "I think it was theft," speculates one commentator.
Another Twitter user sees it very differently: “No theft.
These were probably emergency life-saving measures.
You can't let him die of thirst." "These days, that still falls under "mouth robbery"," one follower is sure.
The next one pities the alleged bar robber: "Poor guy, just wanted a drink."
For the Oktoberfest: "Wiesnschmankerl" by the police - Twitter users split
Only one person expressed annoyance about the post: "You don't joke about crimes.
Especially at Oktoberfest, where sexual offenses are part of everyday life.
Impious."
The report encourages another user to report his very personal “Wiesnschmankerl”.
"35 years ago we got into the wine tent at the back via the kitchen while it was still in operation!
We just wanted to go into the tent, hopefully no longer punishable?
The kitchen staff saw us." The officials' reaction: "That's probably already time-barred, you rascals."
Back to Weghoibe: Whether the Munich police actually thwarted the Wiesn visitor's plans to get home with their intervention, whether it was theft or the robbery - that will probably remain a secret forever.
What is certain, however, is that the incident was certainly not the last "Wiesnschmankerl" of the officials.
So Twitter users can look forward to more.
