Sure! Like they said, it just felt good to do something that they felt the police couldn’t control or understand. From OP’s perspective, they needed to be able to exercise control over those that were controlling OP. Easy to understand.
That said, the police and Stasi are (given the time) tasked with prosecuting and attacking far more than what OP could have known about, and given the relatively playful nature of children in even some of the most dire circumstances, the police and Stasi didn’t have limitless resources to chase down something that, over time, produced no significant threat.
Both the police and the Stasi were wary and paranoid, but even they have their limits, and they weren’t completely stupid. They knew they had to devote their resources to far likelier threats.
As OP said, she wanted to feel in control, and no one can really blame them. OP felt good, and that’s what matters.
Thanks for your answer. Sorry, I really don’t want to come across like a duchebag asshole. But this sounds more like a general guess of what has happened or how the Stasi might have operated in your opinion (plus some armchair psychology that kinda rubs me the wrong way).
I literally just woke up and thought you might have some actual insight on this particular case?
You are not criticizing the OP, I guess, because you acknowledge their point, that it was meaningless, but it was entertaining to distract the Stasi. But you are criticizing the OP, because you think the Stasi were so competent?
So, you know more about this. Great! Can you please tell me about that story?

As an armchair this also rubs me the wrong way
Can you rub me the right way? Armchair?
JD Vance?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is like what you get when you ask chat gpt to summarize something 😂
Well I was there, and I can tell you the Stasi were confused af. Got a nice giggle out of it
