Caravan stolen with sleeping owner inside in Germany

In Brief

In Unterhaching, Bavaria, three men stole a caravan unaware that the 43-year-old owner was sleeping inside. He woke up, called the police, and the suspects were arrested. The total value of two caravans is 15,000 euros.

On the night of June 4 in Unterhaching (Munich district), three men attempted to steal two caravans parked on the street. One of them, a Bürstner, was occupied: the 43-year-old owner was sleeping inside. Waking up around midnight, he realized his caravan was being hitched to a car and driven away, and immediately called the police, reporting his location.

Police found the stolen caravan in the same town and arrested three suspects — a 43-year-old German and two Hungarian citizens (28 and 45), who were also trying to steal a second caravan, an Eriba Hymer. The 45-year-old driver had no driving license. The total value of both vehicles is estimated at 15,000 euros. The suspects are in custody.

Motorhome theft on order: trial begins against gang in Dresden

A trial has started in Dresden against Krzysztof L. (33) and Pawel K. (25), accused of stealing vans and motorhomes. According to the indictment, seven vehicles worth about €230,000 were stolen in Radebeul and Dresden between late August and early October 2025.

After a theft in Pieschen, an international police operation led to the suspects' arrest by Czech authorities and extradition to Saxony. The verdict is expected in July.

Mud-stuck motorhome: comprehensive insurance does not cover towing damage

A motorhome driver drove onto a grassy area, got stuck in mud, and was pulled out by a tractor. During the maneuver, the motorhome collided with the tractor because the brakes failed. The insurer denied the comprehensive claim. The Munich Higher Regional Court (case 10 U 1638/25e) ruled that under the standard motor vehicle insurance terms (AKB, July 2023), damage between a towing and a towed vehicle is not covered unless an external force intervenes.

Revised industry standard 'Small Building' published

The Tiny House Association has published the revised industry standard 'Small Building' (June 2026 edition). The guideline, known as the 'Tiny House Standard', describes the current state of the art for planning, manufacturing and evaluating small buildings. The main innovation is the division into two parts: Part 1 covers requirements for construction, technical building equipment, product ecology and conformity assessment; Part 2 covers living quality, indoor air hygiene and building biology requirements. Manufacturers can check product compliance during the planning phase, reducing later adjustments and costs. New definitions for modular houses and series construction have been added; for series products, conformity assessment can be based on a representative sample. The standard includes differentiated requirements for the energy assessment of transportable small buildings. It is available in print and PDF for EUR 69.
