You can hand over illegal weapons to the police, punishment-free. During the month of November, you can anonymously hand over illegal weapons to the police at designated police stations. Check the regional police website to see where you can do it. The last time it was possible was in 2017. Grenades and explosives should not be transported to the police station; call 114 instead to arrange special transport.

What to do when the travel agency doesn’t live up to the promises made? You can complain to the Pakkerejse-Ankenævnet (Package Travel Appeal Board). Lately, the number of cases open at the Appeal Board has exploded, and they are warning travelers to look carefully at the documents before signing with the travel agency.
- First, you must complain to the travel agency immediately as you encounter the problem. Not after the travel is over. You need to give them the chance to react and fix the issue.
- Read closely the hotel description and online reviews. Check closely the order confirmation to ensure extras are included. Complain directly to the travel agency. Document the problems with pictures and videos. Focus on the biggest problem.
Homeowners have the right to lock up stray pets. Pet owners have a duty to keep their animals on their own property. If the animals roam on someone else’s property and are a significant nuisance, the owner can be fined. If you catch an animal, you must report it to the police so that the owner can be found.
