The police seem less than outraged. "The man said he was just taking his due," one of them stated.

Off-topic, but these images of German industrial buildings in the early 20th century may be of interest.
I particularly like the Einsteinturm, that seems to leap straight out of the Weimar Republic into a Miyazaki film or manga.
