Falco, Klammer and Kampusch and the man that nobody knows.
As Natascha Kampusch unveils she is writing her autobiography, this special investigation looks at the fate of the last book about her and uncovers the shadowy web that links Natascha Kampusch, Falco, Franz Klammer and other high-profile Austrians with a bankrupt author of obscure mystical books that seems to have a hotline to Austrian media. Originally commissioned for the British Observer newspaper it was never published because legal proceedings were ongoing that concluded last week - but it can now be told in full and unabridged for the first time exclusively on the Austrian Times.

| McDonalds | Veronica Dötzl | During the last four trips I have made to the McDonalds on Hadikgasse they have had either no toys for the children\'s menu or a selection of toy\'s from a previous offering. On the last trip they didn\'t have any at all on offer - and gave me an apple pie instead. It\'s never happened to me in the US or the UK branches of McDonalds. |
| ÖBB | Evelyne Ranharter | I have complaints versus OEBB. Their ticket machines are not clear and in german only so that persons not understanding everything in german cannot use them without making mistakes. A friend therefore took a ticket that was not valid on the day he used it and therefore had to pay a fine of EUR 65. When I asked OEBB, they sent me a standard letter and additional 3.500 spam mails. Now I wrote to some people personally at OEBB but I am being ignored. I don\\\'t think this reflects positively on OEBB. Also, I am just told he had no valid ticket. But he was unaware of this. So I want some understanding, people speaking English, the ticket machines in different languages and the reimbursement of the EUR 65. |
| Post | Eric Price | Thw Post office 1173 is closing at the end of September 2011, yet the replacement is miles away and at a bank with even shorter opening hours. Yet, the current Post office is NOT loosing money and there are plenty of vacant shops in the area of Dornback/Neuwaldegg. The area has plenty of residents, who are complaining, including pensioners without a car. Also, the current office has a place to park and yet the new one not, which is also a few yards away from the main Post Office. It looks like a SPÖ conspiracy so that the American owner of both increases it\'s profits and no consideration for the social issues. A disgrace. |
| Billa | Markus | The small Billa-store in Stättermayergasse, in Vienna's 15th district is nice and clean … but the employees smoke in a small room right next to the entrance so whenever you enter or leave the store you can take a deep breath of lovely cigarette-smoke. |
