Church Spire has been Stolen
In Göttingen, a famous town in Lower Saxony, the church spire has been stolen. It has a value of about 10,000€ and a weight of 30kg. There have been clean-up operations and the workers thought it had been removed by somebody else for restoration, too. However, some thieves had probably climbed the scaffold and removed the golden pike.
The theft must have taken place somewhen between October 5 and October 14, because there is a photography from October 5 on which it is still visible. I am however wondering if it was not very difficult to take a 4m long pike downstairs on a scaffold, because they usually do not have so huge ladders and gaps.
