Sons stolen scooter
Hi everyone,
Today (Sun 30th Aug) at around 2pm my 10yr old son was at Thompson Park skate park with his nana riding his new scooter that he got for his birthday.
2 older boys who he think were early teens asked to ride it and ended up running off with it.
His nana was unaware as she was also watching his smaller cousin at the time but realised when he came to her quite devastated.
I spent a few hrs driving around Brighton but we didn't see it again.
If your son turns up home with a new looking green scooter (MGP VX9 PRO) that they didn't have before today it may be my son's.
Its a long shot but I had a 10yr old crying himself to sleep tonight. He has learning difficulties and is just really trusting so this is a tough lesson for him.
Scooter looks like the one attached.
Thanks everyone. May be a good thing I didn't find the kids yo be honest....

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
