HOW IN GOTHAM’S name did an NYPD Ford Crown Victoria (adorned with all the fixings — all the way to the bumper sticker) find its way in Germany’s Central Uplands?

When one conjures Bavaria, Germany what quickly comes to mind are its majestic alps, massive mugs filled frothy Oktoberfest brews, Weißwurst (white sausage), and the headquarters of both BMW and Audi.

But the damndest thing happened in May when Peter Calamera was enjoying his travels. It’s almost as if a he found a beached whale atop one of its peaks. Or saw Bigfoot… in Austria.

This comes close to it.

The retired NYPD cop touring three weeks with his his daughter NYC-based country singer Jessica Lynn (he plays bass guitar and produces her music), encountered a police car straight outta Washington Heights’ 33rd Precinct that was marking it.

The Jessica Lynn tour plotted stops in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

When they stopped in Volkach, Bavaria for some grub — he dropped off the crew and ventured to park their ride a football field away.

And the one time MOS disbelieved what he was seeing.

There before him was an unmistakable white and blue-striped Ford Crown Victoria RMP (NYPD parlance for Radio Marked Patrol) parked under a covered carport on a farm.

"I couldn't believe it," Calamara, who had worked in the 32 Precinct, in Inwood, taking note of the identifying markings on the car are from the 33 Precinct, in Washington Heights.

He took particular note of the car’s authentic details.

"It looked 100% legit to me, right down to the ‘Cop Shot’ reward stickers,” he marveled. “It looked beat up a bit. It even had a scratched up cage (separating the rear prisoners compartment from the driver and passenger).”

The dumbfounded Calamara, who posed for a photo with the almost meteor-like cruiser, proudly wearing his NYPD ball cap.

After posting it on his social media account, with a caption: "How the hell did this get here and why?"

That post drew a barrage of comments ranging from "Does it have hubcaps?" to spitballing about its provenance (movie studios buying up NYPD cars for flicks) along with more tickling questions like if it has foam missing from the steering wheel, if it possesses a milk crate propping up the (broken) driver seat, any empty beer cans or chicken bones strewn on the floor.

Stew MacKay wisecracked: “Juuuuust a little off post!”

Others were consternating that it might be some kind of car import for a club to pure amazement at the exotic find some 3,900 miles from NYC. 

The inquisitive Calamara was all too eager to meet this police car aficionado Farmer Finn.

But he was leery of the language barrier.

So he walked back to the Cafe Zuckerscheune in Prichenstien and inquired with the staffers about the fish-out-of-water find.

They were just as puzzled.

"I have been traveling for 10 years and this is by far the strangest thing I have seen, mused Calamara.

The Blotter did a little digging of our own.

A German author who reached contacted the cafe.

He was told that they would write a note and leave it on the neighbor’s door with our contact info.

So far, we haven’t heard back.

Whenever we do hear back, we will update.

Brian Levinsky: Was there a chunk of foam missing from the steering wheel?

Boogie Down Vegas Vegas: I sold same car to a dealer in Germany 5 years ago...different rmp # and precinct..good market for them over there

Gregoryy Rozenblat: That car was a real police car that was commissioned for the Nypd a while back

Kenny Stretz: They won the pct pot for who can get the furthest out of the command and provide proof LOL. Actually a lot of American movie and tv is filmed overseas. So that is probably how

Dean Alessio: Would be suspicious if the RMP radio worked.

Jimbo Gerosimo: Were there empty beer cans under the front seat?

Stephen Maffeo: Not an actual RMP but looks cute

Mark Zimmerman: Are there holes in the dash to hold pens, chicken bones on the floor, and a bag of IAB weed under the seat? 🤔
Side note: Warner Bros Studios outside of London has an NYPD vehicle fleet better than some precints. 😆

CHIVALRY THESE DAYS is met with wanton fury. 

An old man paid a harsh price for doling out some class on mass transit. 

The 73-year-old Good Sam tried stepping in as two punks were harassing a woman sitting on the M-104 bus reached Broadway and West 92nd Street at around 6:30 p.m. on June 5, according to the criminal complaint. 

Both men, ages 24 and 19 and hailing from the Bronx, had been jawing with the woman who was apparently well along in her pregnancy. 

“She is pregnant,” he asserted. “Don’t be disrespectful.”

The two then turned their aggression toward the elder. 

“Mind your own fucking business,” one of them countered. 

The other stepped to the old timer and blabbed, “Now you're getting poked."

Both men then leveled the old man several times to his head and body and when he dropped — they started stomping on him several times. 

Then, one of them pulled a knife and stabbed him in the left shoulder. 

Both men took off running from the bus. 

Meanwhile, the pregnant woman’s guardian was rushed to Mount Sinai Morningside and stabilized. 

The perps ducked the law for weeks until June 25, cops confirmed their arrests. 

Each faces assault and weapons possession raps. 

A REPULSIVE MONSTER broke into a child’s bedroom and pleasured himself.

The 35-year-old allegedly slipped into the 8-year-old’s home located nearby De Reimer and Bussing Avenues before sunrise on July 17.

The suspect allegedly got into the bedroom through the window and woke the tot from her sleep.

He then exposed himself and performed a lewd act before exiting the same way he slithered in.

There were no reported injuries.

The goon was described as wearing a black sweater with a white logo, black pants, a gray skullcap, and black sneakers.

He was nabbed the same day and formally hit with burglary, sex abuse, forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child, trespass, and harassment.

HE WAS MOST displeased when someone demanded the XXX exploits find another venue. 

Two men, 35 and 46, were interrupted engaging in oral sex inside the family-friendly Washington Skate Park when they were asked to get lost by a sickened park goer. 

It was around 11 p.m. on June 9 when the men were enjoying fellatio and the bystander asked them to scram. 

“Mind your own business,” the 46-year-old allegedly stated. 

So affronted by the heave-ho ask (and perhaps the interruption of their hookup) and the older of the two ticked off men then grabbed a pistol and marched back to answer allegedly “squared up to fight,” according to the criminal complaint. 

Brandishing the firearm, the older suspect then “squared up seethed, “I have the gun!”

The supposedly wasted tough guy and his pal left the park and dipped out in a white Dodge Challenger. 

Witnesses spotted the make and plate of the car and informed cops of the details. 

The officers tracked it down to nearby 5th Street and 7th Avenue where it was parked at a fire hydrant. 

The perps were then questioned by the cops. 

They quickly determined the answers coming from their boozy breath suggested heavy drinking. 

What’s more, the officers spotted a 9mm Glock pistol (with a defaced serial number) set on the center console and loaded with eight rounds plus one in the chamber.

There was also another gun confiscated; a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber pistol (with a serial number intact) and loaded with nine rounds pulse one in the chamber found stashed on the front passenger seat floorboard. 

Both men were busted and brought up on weapons charges, public lewdness, menacing, and harassment.

THE BARELY-DRESSED GAL was extra bloodthirsty. 

The woman, 27, allegedly took aim at a man waiting for the bus and then carved him up. 

It was around 9:30 a.m. on June 22 when the man says he was sitting at the bus stop located on Jamaica Avenue and 144th Street. 

The woman allegedly drew up her dark skirt and the man said below them she was wearing white-striped undershorts. 

While circling him like a lone wolf, he saw her then lift her shirt to reveal a pink bra and pulled out a knife out of the cleavage. 

He likely didn’t know it yet but the woman was hellbent on going to work on him. 

She swung the knife at him and gashed him several times to his defending hand face. 

The victim’s attempt to fight back forced the woman to at least not leave him for dead. 

The slashed man was taken to a nearby hospital where he received 10 stitches to his forehead and three to his right hand. 

A bystander tried to help stop the woman — managed to hand the bloodied knife to him and cops were able to collect it as evidence. 

By 4 p.m., cops found the suspect standing on Merrick Boulevard and 90th Avenue; and dressed in her same skirt and pink bra getup. 

When they attempted to arrest her, they found she was carrying a sack of crack. 

The woman was taken down for assault, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

A GUNMAN WENT Rambo trying to flee a house he blew up.

Two people died inside a a home on Ocean Crest Boulevard between Hartman Lane and Beach 25th Street.

Cops rushed to the home after a woman dialed 911 claiming she heard gunshots and saw a body lying lifeless on a bed.

She also reported that her husband was armed. The caller allegedly reported that her husband who had a lengthy mental health past had a shotgun and she heard him say, "Kill. Kill them. Kill them."

At around 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, the elite Emergency Service Unit were about to take the door when the roof appeared to blast off in an explosion.

Seconds later the gunman, later identified as 33-year-old Kegan Thomas stepped out of the fiery abode donning a tactical vest and armed with the shotgun and plenty of ammo.

He apparently refused repeated orders by cops to drop the iron and when he failed to concur — several cops opened fire, striking the suspect.

Despite all the brass shells littering the street, the gunman was given aid and rushed to a local hospital where he was stabilized.

Two relatives of the gunman were discovered dead inside the home.

They have been identified as 28-year-old Selena Ponce and 56-year-old Clemer Ponce.

Several homes had to be evacuated as a result of the blast.

THE ONLY CRIME she committed was not knocking first. 

At least that was the takeaway from the woman who was caught quickly after breaking into a home and going to town to take what she thought was hers. 

It was the morning of July 2 when the 43-year-old allegedly “kicked the front door in” and enter the home located on Montgomery Avenue. 

Once inside she helped herself to a wig, two Nintendo Switch consoles, a T-shirt, and a pair of jeans. 

The woman wasn’t bothered with any sort of conscience kick until cops caught up with her on July 9. 

It was then that they confronted her on the suspected thievery. 

But she wasn’t bashful of the incident that also happened to be captured on CCTV. 

“Yes, that’s me in the images,” she confessed. “I did kick the door in. 

“I grabbed my wig and other belongings.”

The investigators weren’t exactly taken by the theory that the stuff she allegedly stole were hers to claim. 

The glass pipe with the coke residue didn’t help her situation much either. 

Prosecutors soon dropped the hammer on her with several charges including burglary of a dwelling, criminal mischief, petit larceny, criminal possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), and criminal trespass.
