At a gas station, he had to fill up the tank of the car he had bought in France without paying because he had not found the gold: On Monday evening, foreign police in Freistadt heard quite a bit of gibberish from a 44-year-old Latvian citizen.
But first things first, from the beginning: The man who was traveling in a car with French license plates was waved to the side of the road during a check by the Aliens Police. When checking the driver’s data, the officials found that the license plates of the car had already been deregistered in France in May this year. Whereupon the police took a closer look at the traveler. The further data query showed that the driver of the vehicle with the license plate was filmed on November 12th in Hohenau an der March by the surveillance camera of a petrol station, as he had run away from the gas pumps without paying without paying.
With that the trouble began for the Baltic. He had to assure the officers who pulled the number plates from his car that he would have his car towed in the next few days. At lunchtime on Tuesday, the car was still at the location, but two hours later it was gone. The police found the car parked in front of the train station in Freistadt. When the police asked the man what the rendition trip was supposed to be for, he made no answer. When the vehicle was checked again, the officers found a pile of hot stones in the trunk of the car that the driver had heated over a campfire and then used as a parking heater.
The gentleman from Latvia seemed to the police more and more strange in the course of the official act. To be on the safe side, they collected the vehicle keys and a few other valuables from the car from him. The man became more and more aggressive, yelled around and had to be warned twice before he calmed down again. Then the strange owl began to tell his equally strange story of why he had come to Austria in the first place. The 44-year-old claimed that he was in the country as a “gold prospector”: “This is where Hitler’s gold is buried.”

The police did not find a shovel or staple on the man’s tools in the car. They found something else to do with it: a rubber hose that petrol thieves can use when drawing fuel from someone else’s car. The 44-year-old prevented gold digger was reported several times. To secure the fines, the officials did not ask for a nugget or a bag of gold dust. He handed them his car as a deposit.
