Been noticing a lot more theft in the city of St. Gallen these few years and the past month I’ve experienced some insane cases. Be cautious and careful with your belongings. Left a bulky good for disposal on Thursday with two bulky goods stickers on it and then Friday morning before the disposal truck comes in I noticed that the stamps were tampered with as tho someone was trying to take it out? Then another incident with someone I know that left their ikea screwdriver set at a colleague’s mailbox area and it got stolen within a few hours. Also heard of someone getting their packages stolen within an hour of being delivered. A couple months back, another friend’s family’s apartment in another part of st gallen had a break in at their basement and some of their neighbors’ belongings in the storage got robbed. I also notice a lot more panhandlers around the bhf or the marktplatz and the powerbank scams. And heard of junkies sneaking into basements to sleep or do other stuff there. I’ve personally had my escooter and AirPods stolen around the university premises and know of others having their stuff stolen too. These incidents have been getting more frequent lately and it wasn’t this bad 3-4 years ago. Unsure if there’s something happening behind the scenes or if there’s not enough law enforcement but be careful with your belongings submitted by /u/Embarrassed_Gate5495
