Left at A7 Rest Stop, 69-Year-Old Reunited With Family After Community Aids Police

Officers reached relatives using a number sourced via an insurance agent alongside carnival-club contacts.

Overview

  • A passing couple found the man at a parking area between Evendorf and Bispingen and brought him to the Soltau police station.
  • The traveler from Nordhausen had no phone, no money, and did not know his wife’s or daughter’s numbers.
  • Initial checks, including coordination with the man’s home police service, failed to locate the family.
  • Police provided mineral water as he waited, and the reunion followed after more than two hours.
  • The wife and daughter had already realized the mistake and were searching, and police later advised prompt contact with local authorities in similar cases.
