Beatrice van der Poel has an angel on her shoulder on Thursday afternoon. In a studio she has just recorded an audiobook. She is on her way home when she can barely avoid a black Porsche Cayenne on Meeuwenlaan in Amsterdam-Noord. The driver puts his car in reverse at an instant, drives right in front of her wheel and rams the steel door of Schöne Edelmetaal where – as it turns out later – millions are being attempted. At that time, Van der Poel has no idea what happened to her and is mostly baffled. “Is this an accident?” I thought at first. The driver is bent over the steering wheel. “I wanted to help him first. But at the same time I heard all kinds of screams. This looked like a fight. I had to get out of here. ”
