Where is Thofern?

Where is Thofern?

Have you seen Thofern? We have his sleeping mat here and judging from the things written on it, he desperately wants it returned to him. We understand - it must be horrible sleeping on the cold cold ground!

A call for help

So to put it blunt: we need Your help to get Thofern and this mat together again. Have you seen him? All we know is this:

  • He (or she!) is German with the last name being Thofern
  • Served in the Bundeswehr at some point between 2010 to 2017
  • The handwriting looks like as pictured.

The service time we know because according to the tags, the mat was made in July of 2010.

Translations of the German texts can be found in the photos. We have a sense Thofern had some trouble with sleeping mat thieves during the time in the army. We feel ya, it was just like that for us too.

Update! The Internet has shown its great power again and Thofern has been found!
The sleeping mat was sent back to him along with a Särmä TST balaclava to keep his identity safe amidst all this publicity, and a 100 euro gift card, so that he can get, for example, a sleeping bag to go with the pad. Thanks to all you detectives out there for your magnificent work! Vielen Dank!
