A neighborhood conflict has been raging for years in the small town of Croatian-Gerersdorf. And now a sculpture has also disappeared.
The scene couldn’t be more inconspicuous: a small side street on the edge of Croatian-Gerersdorf. The quiet village belongs to Nikitsch and has about 400 inhabitants. Everyone knows everyone here, but not everyone seems to be on friendly terms. At least that suggests Anna F. (name has been changed), who is in conflict with her neighbor.
The theft happened in broad daylight
And it is unlikely that peace will come in the future. Because something happened recently that is incomprehensible from the pensioner’s point of view. The “Isabella” stone statue, a birthday present from her husband, was stolen from the garden in broad daylight. After Easter she had put the statue outside in a special place behind the barn.
Pensioner had heard a strange noise
But the gift would only be there for about a month. On the afternoon of May 12, she emerged from the basement and heard a strange noise coming from the shed, the retiree says. She went to look and when she got behind the building, the gate to the street was open and the figure was gone.
A gift has a high personal value
The financial damage is not too bad, but the image has a high personal value. F. assumes that there must have been two perpetrators. One that opened the gate and one that performed the figure, which stood 82 centimeters in height and weighed about 50 kilograms. The pensioners are now thinking feverishly about who could have kidnapped “Isabella”.
dispute with neighbour
F. says she has problems with some neighbours. She saw one in his garage at the time of the incident. According to the elderly woman, he has been in legal disputes for 15 years. These are construction projects that have been carried out. The elderly woman and her husband now hope not only for information, but also – as they emphasize – for support in the neighborhood conflict. Because the dispute devoured a huge sum of money.
When the “Krone” called, the neighbor reacted indignantly to F.’s suggestion that he had something to do with the theft. Officially, however, he does not want to say anything about it. Meanwhile, it is heard in the village that bulky waste collectors are driving around again and again. Where “Isabella” has gone remains a mystery for now.
