Hunter Pence had to find an alternative form of transportation to the ballpark on Monday all because someone stole his scooter.
Pence was out to dinner on Sunday night and apparently left his scooter propped up outside the restaurant when a thief came along and snatched it.
Ahhhh someone stole my scooter! :(

Pence was at Epic Roasthouse on Embarcadero last night, left scooter by chef door when it got boosted.

The Giants' team chef built Pence's custom scooter, which suddenly became so iconic that it got the bobblehead treatment earlier this season.
Pence is very attached to his scooter.
"I feel like it was an extension of me," he said before Monday's game.
Pence rode a backup scooter with a dying battery to the park today. "Yeah, I can't fathom driving for some reason."

He said he would forgive whomever pilfered his ride and offered a signed scooter bobblehead for its return.
“It’s not that big a deal, but I’m really sad about it. It doesn’t make much sense to steal. The charger is rare, it’s not going to last that long. I trust people. Apparently someone needs it more than I do," he said.
The customized scooter shouldn't be too difficult to find -- it has Pence's name, jersey number and a variety of easily identifiable stickers (such as the Jumpman logo) on it.
