An ugly Christmas story took place on Friday in the Upper Palatinate.

A stranger stole a family's gifts.

Bodenwöhr – In the Upper Palatinate community of Bodenwöhr, north of Regensburg, there will probably be sad faces on Christmas Eve.

The culprit is an unknown thief who stole the family's Christmas gifts on Friday December 23rd.

The police spokesman was also personally touched by the incident.

Brazen theft: Unknown man uses a family's Christmas presents

There are people who really have no conscience.

The incident in the Bavarian town of Bodenwöhr cannot be explained otherwise.

On Friday morning, the mother of a family placed the already wrapped Christmas presents in the aisle in front of her attic apartment in an apartment building.

Then she was busy with the final preparations for the upcoming festival.

Later that day, a thief stole the family's Christmas presents without being recognized.

He only left the rather unwieldy presents in the aisle of the apartment building, a police spokesman said on Saturday, December 24th.

So far there is no trace of the thief.

Theft of the Christmas presents is also a financial blow to the family

The police spokesman was also personally affected by the sad incident.

"It hurts the family a lot, where do you get presents from now?" In addition, the theft of Christmas presents is also a financial hit for the family.

"It is unusual for us in the country that something like this happens," said the police spokesman at the same time, surprised.

One can only hope that the family can find some other way to enjoy Christmas - and that the police will catch the shameless thief.
