A brazen thief was up to mischief in the Tyrolean lowlands this weekend: the perpetrator pretended to be a deaf man in a pizzeria, begged local guests for money and, in an unnoticed moment, plundered the waiter’s wallet. After receiving the ordered pizza, he fled.
The unknown man struck on Saturday night. Around 8:30 p.m., the man entered a pizzeria in Fieberbrunn (Kitzbühel district). Police reported on Monday that they pretended to be deaf to local guests and employees.
Several hundred euros stolen
“He then tried to get several local guests to donate money and sign a document under the pretext of his need for assistance or his deafness,” investigators say. At an unnoticed moment, the suspect “stole a waiter’s wallet that had been left in the bar and stole the money inside, amounting to a mid-three-figure sum in euros.”
Search for thief so far without success
After receiving the pizza he had ordered in the meantime, the man left the restaurant. He had left the empty waiter’s wallet on a shelf in the dining room. After the staff noticed the theft, the alert police immediately started a search, but this yielded nothing.
