By now everyone knows about the horrible fate that befell 16-year-old Franziska Blöchliger, the teenager raped and murdered whilst going for a jog In Tokai forest last week.

In the wake of this, Kirstenhof Crime Watch has announced plans to increase safety in the area, outlining those plans HERE. It seems they haven’t managed to rid the area of all the baddies though, because a Facebook post from Cyndie Montgomery Elliott tells of a rather nasty incident yesterday.

Here’s that post in full:

BEWARE…Tokai Forest Parking

People, please still be very wary of Tokai Forest. Even though it’s busy, the rubbishes are still up to no good. I parked there around 1pm yesterday to take a dog for a walk. It was busy and I thought it would be safe.

Well…… upon my return to my car approximately 15 minutes later, I find a man sitting waiting in the backseat of my car. His friend was parked next to my car with his engine idling. I have no idea how they managed to disarm my alarm, but they totally messed up my lock.

I’m still in shock and I’m grateful that I had a very brave German shepherd with me who will remain my hero….. One would think that there would be more security allocated to this area, especially after the tragic incident earlier that week.

I am absolutely impressed with the fantastic service and friendliness at Kirstenhof Police Station. I managed to give a full description for the registration, make, model, colour, etc. of the car, as well as a description of the suspect seated in my car. I am unable to pass the information as this is a case that is pending.

This is just a warning to everyone to please be very careful. I don’t even want to think or imagine what could have happened to me had I not had my very brave canine by my side.

I guess we should all still exercise caution if we are going to frequent that area. It’s a sad state of affairs but unfortunately that’s the harsh reality…
