Many vehicle owners are familiar with this situation: you park your car in the evening and the next morning it is damaged. More than annoying, as the perpetrator usually leaves no note and witnesses rarely observe the incident at night. In such matters, the private investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Duisburg may be able to assist you: +49 203 3196 0052.
Let us take a closer look at the offence of criminal damage to a vehicle: you approach your car in the morning and discover that the exterior mirror on the side facing the road is smashed on the ground. What might have happened? Either a passing vehicle, perhaps even a bicycle, struck the mirror with force, or someone deliberately destroyed it, possibly in an intoxicated state. Naturally, you will first inform the police and file a report against an unknown person, as this is a prerequisite for having the damage reimbursed by your motor insurance. For the police and the insurance company, this constitutes minor damage; no investigation is carried out, the perpetrator is not identified, the public prosecutor discontinues the proceedings and the case is added to the unsolved files. For you, however, there is the prospect of increased insurance premiums. If you are not insured for this type of damage, you must bear the costs yourself or live with the damage.
Our private investigators from Duisburg conduct more in-depth enquiries, although no success can be guaranteed, particularly in such cases. For individual advice, please contact us by telephone or by email at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-duisburg.de.
If, for example, a passing vehicle caused the damage, traces of the other vehicle may be found on your car. This often allows not only the colour of the offending vehicle to be determined but also the vehicle type, as each manufacturer uses its own distinctive paint finishes. If the perpetrator was a passer-by who damaged your vehicle, it may be possible to clarify whether it was “merely” an act of frustration by a stranger. In both scenarios, there is also the possibility that someone intentionally wished to cause damage specifically to you. In such cases in particular, our Duisburg detectives can narrow down the circle of suspects through interviews and analysis and identify the actual perpetrator through further investigations.
In both constellations, the investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Duisburg conduct enquiries in the vicinity of the scene of the offence, as there are often witnesses to the incident who were not sought, let alone questioned, by the police, since the authorities regard it as an everyday minor matter. However, criminal damage is not a trivial case, neither for you nor for our investigators from Duisburg, and certainly not if you have deliberately become the victim of the offence for personal reasons. Place your trust in our Duisburg detectives. We are available at any time for a non-binding consultation by email at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-duisburg.de or by telephone on +49 203 3196 0052.
