You might not relate Volkswagen with sausages—however, according to the company’s balance sheets, their specialty currywurst is more famous than its cars.

In 2024, Volkswagen sold 8.5 million currywursts, breaking its previous record, while car sales lagged behind at 5.2 million units.

However, in a twist, the German police said the suspect remained free since the statute of limitation on the burglary had expired and the perpetrator was unlikely to be extradited to Germany.
