I received a rather unexpected letter in the mail today… from Munich. It would appear my men and ladies down at the München Staatsanwaltschaft have really been on the case, and decided to write me with the details. In German. Here’s Google’s attempt at translating:

Preliminary investigation against Nassim Ben Othman Athimni because of theft.

I get the impression they spent a lot of time chasing some dude who they suspected of committing four thefts at two hotels and have nothing to show for it. They mailed a letter across oceans —in German— that I had to type into Google Translate myself, for that.
