    Unfortunately some of the humour got lost in translation. For “been brought down to size” the police used the phrase “zur Schnecke gemacht”, which literally would translate to “made a slug”.

      A squat, maybe, or just a private place to spend time without getting rained on. I don’t know about Schwabach, but lots of places don’t have a good “third place” for young pole.

    How does a snail do that? Don’t tell me they have a touch-bell, that would be peak stupidity.

      Probably capacitive touch buttons. Some people likely have elegant stainless steel bell panels with flush, modern touch buttons… Though they have to be rare. All I ever see are push buttons and there is no way a slug can do that.
