THIS is not fake news.
Queensland police were this afternoon on the hunt for a toy car belonging to famed television puppet Agro, a car that was stolen from a home north of Brisbane in the early hours of Sunday.
Thankfully, after much searching and a spray from the puppet himself, the car was located in the north Brisbane suburb of Rothwell, according to Caboolture News.
Agro, described by QPS as a “Brisbane icon”, hosted the popular national children’s show Agro’s Cartoon Connection in the 1990s and is apparently, still in demand on the hosting circuit, where the car is often used.

The puppet, who disappeared from television screens many years ago, returned in a bid to hunt down the thieves, telling Channel 7 in an interview, “me car’s been flogged”.
“I’ve got a list of suspects, it’s got to be someone whose feet can reach the pedals. I’m thinking either a three-and-a-half year old, Grant Denyer, or Dopey from the Seven Dwarfs.”
The black VW Bug toy push pedal vehicle is used in public appearances the apparently still in-demand Agro makes.
It had been left outside the home of its owners, Janet and Alan Marsh, after being used in a television commercial.

The pair has an extensive collection of Agro memorabilia, including the car, which they say is all destined for the Queensland Museum.
Police say it is a one-of-a-kind toy car.
The car was stolen from the couple’s Deception Bay home between 4am and 8am Sunday morning.
On Monday, an 87-year-old woman spotted the toy car in her front garden where she said it must have been dumped.
“She got up and said ‘what, there’s a pedal car in my front yard!’ and her grandson, well they were at great pains to say they weren’t the ones that stole it,” puppeteer Jamie Dunn said.
