Firefighters arrived in time to extinguish the blaze and limit the damage to the device's outer housing and wiring. According to Ostsee Zeitung http://www.ostsee-zeitung.de/nachrichten/mv/index_artikel_komplett.phtml?SID=ce1f0618eff4ad5920c1765fb8a85079¶m=news&id=3277690 repairs will cost 4000 euros (US $5515).

On the same day at around 3am in Ehrenburg, vigilantes smashed the glass lens of an automated ticketing machine. According to Diepholz Police, this triggered an internal alarm that summoned officers. They found no suspects. Damage was estimated at 500 euros (US $690).
