In a Facebook post about the theft, the man’s sister said: “My brother was at his first day in a new job, where he sometimes will need to work short notice.“Yes it's insured, but many insurers are reluctant to cover theft with a reasonable excess. The excess alone is £800.

“He had a heavy duty lock and thinks power tools were used to cut the chain.”

She added: “He got made redundant in June and had been looking for work since.

“He finally got a break and started a new job and this happens on his first day.”

The scooter’s registration number is YO19 ZBZ.
