18-year-old Niclas Matthei has become known as the “Reporting Master” in his home country of Germany after snitching on thousands of parking offenders to the police.
Not all heroes wear capes! Some wear neon green overalls and ride bicycles around busy streets hunting parking offenders and snitching on them to the police as a hobby, and because they consider it the right thing to do. Niclas Matthei, a young man from the town of Gräfenhainichen, in Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt region, first made national news headlines earlier this year, when several prominent media outlets wrote about his unusual hobby -riding his bike around town, photographing illegally parked cars and sending the proof to the local police. He called himself “Anzeigenhauptmeister” or “Reporting Master” and he claimed that he only did his civic duty.
