In the peaceful town of Waechtersbach, an unknown individual has been causing a stir. The police have taken notice of this person, who has been dubbed the "car knockers" due to their peculiar method of checking cars before moving on.

According to the South Hesse Police Headquarters, this individual knocks on cars before verifying if they are locked. If a car is left unlocked, the "car knockers" will search for valuable items, posing a potential threat to car owners.

Thomas Leipold, the police spokesman, has expressed concern about the "car knockers" actions, urging motorists to lock their cars, even on their own property. Leaving cars unlocked, even for a short time, may attract unwanted attention in Waechtersbach.

The police have not yet released any information about the identity of the "car knockers." Despite the search, the name of a person known in WΓ€chtersbach as the "car vandal" who targets unlocked cars has not been found in connection with these acts.

This advice is a reminder for car owners in Waechtersbach to always lock their cars to avoid attracting the attention of the "car knockers." The police are hopeful that by spreading awareness, they can help keep the town safe.
