At some point last night (Tuesday evening)....some robber-character made an attempt on a sun-tanning studio in Wiesbaden (my local town). Local coverage telling the story.
The sun-tan female manager had to stand there for several minutes and explain the method of operation. For over twenty years in Germany....you typically walk into a tanning studio....get a chip-card...and load the card with your bank transaction card at the counter. No cash is involved in this effort usually....so the studios hold virtually no cash.
This guy was standing there and figuring 'quick-robbery'....pick up 150 Euro real quick for a drug-requirement, and ease on out. After the explanation was told several times (he just didn't grasp it very well), he quietly left....empty-handed. Cops are looking for him, but the mask makes this virtually impossible to get anywhere.
A pistol involved? Well, yeah....that's part of the story as well.
That's a continual trend now in the city....minor crimes....nickeling and diming people and business operations. You got one-star thugs working on their drug binge and just hunting the person or store to hit upon.
