The penalties for Non-Compliance are up to 10% of the global turnover of a company.

Well, sounds like the people you know are not the brightest. Usually they make announcements on the stations where thefts occur to watch your belongings. (Usually where the train stays for 10-20 Minutes). I also don't know anyone who has gotten something stolen on the train personally.

Don't be a dick. It's easy to lose stuff to theft. It's got nothing to do with being bright.

It's even easier to forget stuff on the train and blame it onto theft

ICE yes, RB or RE? Forget it.

They don't have a choice as long as they are doing business in the European Union. It will be probably taken out of their Accounts in the European Subsidiary after going through the usual process of People/Companies not paying.
