Lead to Germany

Mystery of missing “Tiny House” solved

Who stole a "tiny house" including a ten-ton terrace? The case in the Tyrolean lowlands recently caused a stir and kept people guessing at the same time. In the course of intensive investigations, the police have now solved the mystery. In any case, the trail leads to Germany.

A "Tiny House" loaded on a semi-trailer, which was parked in a parking lot in Kirchbichl, had been stolen in recent weeks. In addition, "the accompanying ten-ton terrace, which was also loaded, was also stolen", the police reported on Tuesday evening. Damage: more than 100,000 euros.

Via the Inntal highway to Germany
How on earth could such a house be stolen? The police have now been able to shed some light on the matter. "Based on investigations carried out and information received from the public, it has been established that the semi-trailer and its load were transported by a transport company via the A12 highway to Germany in the district of Günzburg in the evening hours of November 14," said the investigators.

According to the police, previous findings indicate that in November 2023 "a sales discussion took place between an alleged buyer, a 45-year-old German, and a representative of the alleged sales company." However, after the agreed purchase price was allegedly transferred in December 2023, the goods were not delivered. 

Removal without the seller's knowledge
The Tiny House was finally removed on November 14 of this year without the seller's knowledge. The legal consequences of the case are unclear. "The matter will be reported to the public prosecutor's office in Innsbruck", the investigators concluded.
