When the owner of the Mercedes locked their car on Wormser Strasse, Berlin on Thursday night, they probably knew it was risky. More than 370 cars have been set alight in the city this year, with the flashiest models being the chief victims.
But with police in Berlin promising to put 500 officersand a helicopter in pursuit of the arsonists, the Mercedes’ owner may have thought they could sleep easy. Especially since this was the chi-chi district of Schöneberg, just a few minutes walk from the KaDeWe department store, Berlin’s answer to Harrods.
But no. In the early hours of Friday morning the elusive firebugs struck again and the Mercedes became the 371st car to be torched in Berlin this year. A few minutes later an Audi in nearby Keithstrasse became the 372nd.
