The golf equipment stolen in broad daylight from entrepreneur Leopold L. in Feldkirchen an der Donau (Upper Austria) is said to be worth around 15,000 euros. The suspected perpetrator apparently knew the area well; the heist took only a few minutes. The golfer won’t receive any compensation from his insurance company. 

Was this the work of a professional? At 1:05 p.m., a dark blue Audi A6 station wagon is seen pulling into the parking lot. The driver, an apparently elderly man, gets out and briefly looks around the parking lot. Then he heads straight for the storage room, grabs the golf cart, walks past several surveillance cameras back to his car, and is gone again ten minutes later.

His brother-in-law even saw him
All of this took place on Wednesday at the Donau Golf Club in Feldkirchen. “My brother-in-law even saw him there and thought he was a customer I’d given a golf bag to,” says Leopold L., surprised. The local businessman had previously played golf with important clients.

Storage room was unlocked
Before going out for lunch with them, he had placed the equipment—a handmade golf bag with a company logo containing 14 professional clubs and all sorts of expensive accessories on an electric cart—in the storage room at the golf course. “Unfortunately, it was left unlocked, which is why all the insurance companies are refusing to cover it,” said L.

The estimated value of the stolen goods: a hefty 15,000 euros. What leaves the business owner at a loss: “The suspect in the video seems to know his way around very well. He knew where the storage room was, and he took my golf cart, which was probably the most expensive one there at the time.”

Tips requested
The police will examine the surveillance footage on Monday. The suspected perpetrator was wearing a white polo shirt, blue shorts, and red shoes. Anyone who recognizes him or the Audi should contact the police.
