+---
+
+Something that I never thought would happen to me, happened to me: My bike was stolen.
+Well ok, I'm living in Berlin and I know that bike theft is a common thing here. 
+But my bike was super-old (I already bought it used on a flee market) and I had it for over 3 years 
+without any problems...
+But then, one day, it was gone.
+But let's start from the beginning:
+
+<h3>The shocking moment</h3>
+I was on my way home from work.
+So I arrived at S-Bahnhof Nikolassee and wanted to take my bike from the bike stand in front of the station building.
+**But it was gone.**
+I couldn't believe it.
+Especially because I had just colored the bike frame with a bright yellow and red colors a few weeks ago and even put 
+some new tires on it.
+I was so angry and sad at the same time.
+The following days I was looking for my bike everywhere, but my hopes were pretty low.
+But then...
+
+<h3>The lucky catch</h3>
+Friday evening, three days after the incident, I forced myself to take a last look online to see if I 
+could find my bike.
+My hope was that the thief would try to sell it on eBay or something like that.
+And yes indeed, I was lucky.
+On eBay `Kleinanzeigen` (now renamed into `kleinanzeigen.de`) I found my bike.
+I couldn't believe it.
+Instantely I wrote the seller a message and asked him if I could come by and take a look at the bike.
+However, the thief kept me waiting.
+Then, Saturday morning a message came in.
+"Yes, the bicycle is still available. When would you like to come by?"
+
+<h3>What now? - The plan</h3>
+I was so excited.
+This was my chance to get my bike back.
+But how exactly?
+Should I just confront the thief?
+Should I take my bicycle back by force?
+Should I take friends with me?
+
+But responsible as I am, I decided to call the police. 
+Yes, **the police**.
+And they agreed to help me.
+Morever, they told me that I should not go to the meeting point alone.
+Instead they would send a whole undercover team to come along with me to catch the thief.
+And that's how it happened.
+
+
+<h3>The police and me</h3>
+It was just like in the movies:  
+I was standing at the meeting point, prepared to meet the thief and to get my bike back.
+Yet, I was not alone.
+Eight undercover agents were there for my support.
+Some of them were hiding behind a corner, while others were watching the scene from a distance (sitting in a café on the other street side, no joke!).
+Then, the thief came with my bike, I was pretending to be interested in buying it.
+At some point I wanted to know from the "seller" some details about the bike when suddenly the undercover agents came out of their hiding places and swarmed the thief.
+
+**"Keine Bewegung! Polizei Berlin!"**
+
+He was caught, pushed to the ground, handcuffed and taken away.
+I was astonished.
+I had not anticipated that the police would act so quickly and decisively.
+But I was happy: I got my bike back.
+
+<h3>I'm a celebrity</h3>
+Apparently, the story was so exciting that the BILD newspaper wrote an article about it.
+I was interviewed by a journalist and a photographer took some pictures of me and my bike.
+My article even ended up being displayed in the print version of the newspaper.
+But most excitingly I ended up in the "Berliner Fenster" (the displays all over the U-Bahn wagons in Berlin).

 After my successful graduation with a Bachelor in Bioinformatics I decided to take a break from studies and do instead a voluntary social year with the humanitarian organization <a href="https://adra.org/" target="_blank">ADRA</a> in Uganda.
 Enriched by countless inspiring encounters and unique experiences which pushed me strongly forward in my personal development, I chose to continue with my Bioinformatics studies in Berlin at Freie Universität Berlin.
