The boy called Shmira. Shmira members arrived on scene, called 911, got a description of the scooter and immediately spread out canvassing the area in search for the scooter. When Police arrived they stated that the boy would have to come down to the precinct later on with his parents to make the report since they were unable to make the report in the absence of his parents. Meanwhile multiple Shmira volunteers were diligently searching all the streets and alleyways in the neighborhood. After an hour and a half of searching one of the volunteers found the scooter abandoned on Crown Street near the entrance to a house. The boy was called and his scooter was returned to him.
