Simson moped stolen from Wahrenbrück: friends find thief!
In the tranquil community of Wahrenbrück, an unwanted trip by a very special vehicle was thwarted on the night of July 21, 2025. A self-assembled Simson moped S51, which cost the owner Ronny Hesse a lot of blood and sweat, was stolen from his garage. The eye-catching blue moped, equipped with an S50 frame, PZ tuned handlebars and a custom seat, was stolen between midnight and the early hours of the morning. Hesse had safely stored the moped in his garage after a trip, only to be shocked to discover it had been lost the next morning. According to lr-online.de the value of the beloved moped is estimated at up to 4000 euros.
The specific report of the theft was recorded in the police report and the search for the S51 model was immediately initiated. What is particularly tragic for Ronny Hesse is that he only got his driver's license two months ago and has been building the moped himself for about four months. In the scene, these cult mopeds are in demand for between 1,000 and 4,000 euros, depending on their condition - no wonder that the lack of the model is causing big waves.
A cult object in danger
The Simson moped is not just a means of transport, but also embodies a bit of culture and nostalgia for many in the region. Ronny Hesse is not an isolated case; Many moped drivers in Brandenburg have similar experiences. Users in the [Simsonforum](https://www.simsonforum.de/wbb/thread/99197- Schadenssum-bei-diebstahl/) report that the value of comparable models can fluctuate greatly. An accurate estimate often depends on documentation, photos and the condition of the moped. A valuation report can help here - an investment of around 200 euros, which can definitely pay off if the replacement value becomes relevant.
In Ronny Hesse's case, the situation seems particularly precarious. Deducting possible deductibles and residual values, he could possibly receive 2,100 to 2,200 euros from insurance if he has taken out one. Insurance for moped drivers is just as important as the preservation of historic vehicles. When investing in this special lifestyle, solid insurance coverage is essential.
