A tongue-in-cheek notice, asking for any information about a stolen yellow-and-black rickshaw, is making the rounds on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In it, the owner, Lew Norgarb, asks for residents to help \u201cbring our baby home safely\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat with kids, loves family gatherings. Her twin, Norgarb2, is devastated,\u201d the notice reads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two branded rickshaws are often seen at community events, giving free rides to children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were again set to do so on Sunday 30 October at the Halloween Trick or Treat event held at Hampstead Park. But only one made it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other was stolen from Norgarb\u2019s locked garage in Harfield Village on Friday 28 October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An eyewitness last spotted the rather bulky three-wheeled rickshaw making its slow escape on the M5 in the direction of Grassy Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, the trail has gone cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norgarb says, while furious about the theft, he can\u2019t help but laugh at the sheer audacity of the thief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI mean how does someone steal a heavily branded, totally unique, highly conspicuous, incredibly slow and physically exhausting to ride rickshaw in broad daylight (06:10 on Friday morning) and actually (so far) get away with it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claremont Police Station has confirmed that an investigation into the theft is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
