Last Tuesday, November 22nd, the next balloon has been stolen from a locked garage in the Netherlands. The balloon has been stolen including the trailer.

A witness has described the thief: 'Dutch looking guy, black leather jacket, normal shaped, 1.85cm. Lightbrown, half long, kind of wide hair. Strange looking eyes. After nervous walking around, he got into the garage directly with key'. Half an hour later he was seen with a car and trailer. Probably this guy has been seen one day before as well. There are no signs of breaking the hitchlock.
