From the article: *Large SUVs were particularly affected. According to the police, notes were attached to the cars indicating that they were harmful to the climate. The tyres were not punctured, but merely deflated. The cars were parked in the area between the S-Bahn line and Elbchaussee around Kanzleistraße. *

The article is in German. Warning: this link leads to google translate.

    I agree and you're forgetting old people. A lot of them have straight up told me, "I'll be dead when the worst hits, so why should I care?" People need more cynicism for human behavior; it's not entirely cartels and conspiracies.
