Did the men have the phone? According to the streamers, the two men behaved very suspiciously. They were said to have been wearing hoods and looking at the ground the whole time as if they wanted to hide. Masha, the streamer’s girlfriend, then confronted the men right away. “Yo! Where is my phone!” she reportedly said to them. At that moment, the situation escalated.
Why did Papaplatte let the alleged phone thief go? The strange man reportedly bumped into Papaplatte and became aggressive. The suspected phone thief is said to have shouted at Papaplatte and asked what he wanted from him. At that moment, Papaplatte decided to let the thief go and not risk his life for it, after all, one never knows how such a situation will end.
Shortly thereafter, Papaplatte said he encountered a group of police officers who were walking through downtown Düsseldorf. According to the streamer, they said they couldn’t do anything for him, unfortunately. The influencer expressed his outrage on his stream.
Papaplatte was robbed again, his €8,000 camera is also gone
How did the second theft happen? Papaplatte had been vlogging the entire day around the boxing event. At the aftershow party, the influencer’s cameraman reportedly checked in the camera at the cloakroom. From there, he was supposed to have taken it home later as well. However, when the streamer’s cameraman arrived home, he noticed that the camera was no longer with him. The cameraman is said to have written to Papaplatte: “Bro, I’m trying everything, but the Uber driver took the camera.”
In one evening, items worth over €9,000 are said to have been stolen from the streamer.
What did the police do? Papaplatte tracked his phone again the next day and forwarded the location information to the police. The police checked the address and found that the building was a residence for refugees. Many people live in small spaces there, making it impossible to search for the phone based on the coordinates.
The streamer is currently checking whether he is insured against the damage incurred. If not, he might be able to recover the lost money with reacts to 7 vs. Wild Season 3. He is a participant there and recently provoked with the statement that he would “not participate again under any circumstances”. Papaplatte was not very sad about the loss. In the stream, he described his reaction as the right decision and was glad about how he resolved the matter.
