Love blue and gold....sugar day...
A search of a Mercedes with German licence plates on a Bavarian motorway on Monday revealed nothing until suspicious officers looked inside the wheel arch. There, tucked out of sight, they found a stash of 40 'gold' chains.
"Presents for my loved ones," explained the driver, a 37-year-old unemployed Romanian, who turned out to be wanted for questioning over fake gold scamming by prosecutors in Saarbrücken and Darmstadt.
Why he would hide such valuable gifts in the car's bodywork, he declined to say. Investigators later confirmed the gold was fake.
"Because he was known to the authorities for previous gold fraud we confiscated the chains and sent them for examination," said a spokesman for the police in Raubling.
In this case, the man's previous form is likely to work against him. But in most cases there is only so much the police can do when scams come to light.
Either the culprits are long gone, or if someone is apprehended, it can be one person's word against another.
Scammers can also claim they were unaware that their precious property was fake and that they had offered it in good faith.
Same old sob story
Widespread and a regular feature of police incident reports, Autobahn gold scams usually follow much the same recipe.
A distressed motorist stands by an apparently broken-down car until someone stops to help. A sob story about having no petrol to get home or having been mugged softens the target. The scammer then offers a valuable piece of jewellery and a business card - also fake - as insurance, saying he will redeem the loaned money later.
Victims may typically give anything from €20-150 euros to help get the person on their way again - only to never hear from them again.
A simpler version reported in service stations is a common scam in European capitals like Paris. The deception hinges on a chance 'find' of a fat gold ring by a scammer, within sight of the intended victim.
The finder shrugs and says they aren't interested in it and the other person is welcome to take it - but could they give a few euros so the finder can have a cup of coffee.
Visions of a happy windfall lure the victim. Repeated dozens of times in a day, the proceeds can far outweigh the cost of the fake rings.
To help the con along, chains, bracelets and rings often carry fake stamps like '18ct - 0,750', denoting them as 18-carat gold, which is 75 percent pure.
But it's not just gold, police say.
"Be careful if strangers in an apparent emergency situation offer to sell you objects," reads a warning issued this month by the Hamburg police.
"As well as the scam with so-called Autobahngold, trusting people are being caught out again and again by supposedly valuable leather jackets, carpets, loud speakers and other electrical goods, which later turn out to be worthless."

Why Germans Work Fewer Hours But Produce More: A Study In Culture
When many Americans think of Germany, images of WWII soldiers and Hitler often come to mind. But what many people don’t realize is that Germany is the industrial powerhouse of Europe, and is a leading manufacturer of goods for export to developing Asian nations. We don’t hear about the superiority of German engineering in Volkswagen commercials for nothing!
The economic engine of the EU, Germany single-handedly saved the Eurozone from collapse in 2012. At the same time, German workers enjoy unparalleled worker protections and shorter working hours than most of their global counterparts. How can a country that works an average of 35 hours per week (with an average 24 paid vacation days to boot) maintain such a high level of productivity?

Working Hours Mean Working Hours
In German business culture, when an employee is at work, they should not be doing anything other than their work. Facebook, office gossip with co-workers, trolling Reddit for hours, and pulling up a fake spreadsheet when your boss walks by are socially unacceptable behaviors. Obviously, in the United States these behaviors are frowned up on by management. But in Germany, there is zero tolerance among peers for such frivolous activities.
In the BBC documentary “Make Me A German“, a young German woman explained her culture shock while on a working exchange to the UK.
“I was in England for an exchange… I was in the office and the people are talking all the time about their private things… ‘What’s the plan for tonight?’, and all the time drinking coffee…”
She was quite surprised by the casual nature of British workers. Upon further discussion, the Germans reveal that Facebook is not allowed in the office whatsoever, and no private email is permitted.
