This type of luggage theft seems to be developing into a scam around Frankfurt's main train station.
It was not until September that a 72-year-old man lost a backpack from the luggage rack, which also contained high-quality camera equipment worth around 10,000 euros.
In this case, too, the federal police are investigating.
