Wow! Heck of a ride you had there... thank God everything turned out OK! Wonder why the Polizei don't just station an officer or two out there if theft is such an issue in that one spot? It's not like it's a huge area, and there are only two ticket machines, directly across from each other.
The 'no smoking, live artillery grenades' sign is from Zeughauskeller, right? One of my favorite signs over there.
