Pune: A man in the city grabbed eyeballs after he went out on the road with placards that made an emotional appeal to thieves. No, it was not for a donation but a request to a thief/thieves who stole his scooter. He also shared a post on his Instagram.
Standing on JM Road, Abhay Chaugule put out a placard in Marathi that said his black Activa has been stolen from near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue in Kothrud. He mentioned that it was his mother's last memory.
He reportedly searched nearby areas after the scooty was stolen on Dussehra. When Abhay couldn't find it, he filed an official police complaint regarding theft.
