Take a glimpse into the life of Oliver Wnuk, famous for his role as a commissioner on ZDF's crime series "Nord Nord Mord". Last year, this Berlin-based actor found himself on the other side of the crime scene - a victim of a break-in. Ol' Wnuk ain't shy about talkin' with the "New Osnabrucker Zeitung" about the impact it had on his life.
"Last year, before I skedaddled from Berlin, my crib got cracked. Stolen goods? My laptop, tablet, and a stack of dough," Wnuk shared candidly. Seems a buddy of his hinted about a financial precipice: "Hang tight, buddy, electricity might go out, and if ATMs collapse, you'll need cold hard cash."
Lessons Ol' Wnuk Learned in the Aftermath
Being rolled by burglars shook up Wnuk's relationship with possessions. "In that moment, I reckoned we ain't owners, we're just borrowin'," he mused.
The emotional rollercoaster post-break-in went through ups and downs. "Get robbed? You start feelin' powerless initially, especially if it's a major heist like this. Then you start trawling: They swiped this, that, and the other. It feels like you're grievin'."

After settlin' in Lake Starnberg, he made a purposeful decision to keep his belongings to a minimum. "Moved with next to nothin'. I've been livin' solo for quite some time, and I found it liberatin' to travel light," the actor explained.
Post-robbery, Wnuk embraced a minimalist lifestyle. "I pondered long and hard about buyin' a turntable once more - but if I did, I'd have to collect vinyl again. I found it liberatin' to refrain from doin' that." Even took preemptive measures against potential burglars: "Folks, if you're sniffin' around for my abode, here's a heads-up: Ain't much to nab here - just a buncha LPs that I've stocked up again."
