Thieves steal limited edition e-scooter from Renton home

RENTON, Wash. - Renton Police are seeking the public's help in identifying individuals caught on camera breaking into a Renton home and stealing a limited-edition electric scooter.

It happened on December 28 in the 3600 block of Lake Washington Boulevard North.

"It’s a really special scooter," said Stephanie Fife. "It’s the kind of scooter that the race driver would drive around in the pits."

The Forumula1 Red Bull racing e-scooter is one of 30 manufactured worldwide to commemorate the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix. The Fife family purchased it following their overseas trip.

"We're huge race car fans," said Fife. "We went on our first big, huge family trip and went to Amsterdam and got to see our first Formula 1 race. It was quite special. The scooter was a splurge."

But on Monday, three individuals in a Mercedes GLC 300 gained access to the Fife’s garage and scooted off with the scooter.

"We didn’t even hear them," said Fife. "We were inside sleeping."

The individuals are also believed to be involved in car prowling incidents in the neighborhood.

"Our neighbors said the same people stole iPads from a rental car nearby," said Fife. "We just would like the e-scooter back."

The e-scooter is identifiable, as it says "Red Bull" on it. It's also signed by famous race car drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

Anyone with information about the theft should call Renton Police.
