On Saturday evening, June 16, 2025, an alarming incident occurred in Schaippach, in the Main-Spessart district. An unknown man broke into a residential building around 8:15 p.m., causing great excitement among residents. The perpetrator got inside the house through an unlocked front door, which promptly caught the attention of the resident. He noticed the intruder and immediately alerted the police, who launched a search for the perpetrator, but unfortunately were unsuccessful.
After the intruder fled towards the bike path, the victim discovered that several letters had been stolen from his mailbox. Fortunately, no other valuables were stolen - this could be due to the presence of the resident and his quick actions.

Information about this incident can be directed to the Gemünden police station on 09351 / 97410.
Burglary with consequences
Breaking into your own four walls is more than just a material loss; it can significantly affect those affected' sense of security. The police advise you to call 110 immediately in such cases. Especially if you suspect strangers in your home, it is important to go to a safe place and wait for the police. Entering the apartment should be avoided in order not to cover up tracks, and important information, such as the time of leaving the apartment and the discovery of the break-in, should be noted. Anyone who can note details will certainly be able to count on the support of the police when filing a report, who will then secure the crime scene and initiate the appropriate investigation. More than 67% of burglars come from the local area, and psychological factors such as impulsivity are often at play, which lead to a higher risk of burglaries.
On the radar of statistics
A look at current burglary statistics shows that burglaries in 2025 increased by 25% compared to 2020. A dramatic increase has been recorded, particularly in urban areas, with over 100,000 burglaries in major German cities. However, thanks to scientific predictive models and technological advances such as AI-based security systems and smart door locks, the burglary rate can be reduced regionally. What's interesting is that these technologies can reduce break-in attempts by up to 15%.
Depending on the scope, the installation of such security systems can cost between 500 and 5000 euros, but the investment is usually worth it. Surveillance cameras are able to detect up to 80% of attempted break-ins, and smart home systems can now be found in 70% of households. With well-planned security technology and a close neighborhood initiative, your own living situation can be improved enormously. A look at the architectural design shows that clever solutions can reduce break-ins by up to 30% - a good reason to take a closer look at the issue of security.
In the current situation, it is even more important to remain vigilant and to contact the police immediately if you observe anything. Everyone can help increase their own security and prevent break-ins.
