Wouter Spinhoven was born the son of an office clerk. The family moved to Haarlem in 1908.[1] In 1932, he returned to Amsterdam with his mother and brother – his father had by then passed away. At that time, he was listed as a ‘travelling tea merchant’.[2]

Spinhoven married in 1939 and, with his wife and son, moved to Zwanenburg in May 1942.[3] As he was apparently already working for Keg during the occupation, it is likely that he too was occasionally present at the premises in the evenings and at night to keep watch. This was deemed necessary due to the regular break-ins and thefts.[4]

After the liberation, crime did not cease: on 14 November 1945, Spinhoven reported the disappearance of a consignment of dried fruit whilst it was being transported from Rotterdam.[5]
