– Is it typical Molde, asks bus driver Bente and shakes his head.
She drives the bus to Rosenborg, and now stands without a sign at the back.
In a picture with high Molde circulation on the internet, a man in a Russian suit is sitting and holding the license plate.

Skip the overnight stay
Bus driver Bente said that it is the first time something like this has happened to the RBK bus, but that the several times in Molde have been stuck with stickers.
– Do the RBK players have to stay in Molde until the license plate is found?
– No, I’ve got a divorce too. But the police say they hope it will appear during the day.
The sign disappeared during the night, when the bus was parked outside the Seilet hotel.

Police booth
Large police forces were out in Storgata in Molde for a long time before the “hate riot” took hold.
But it was not the missing sign they were looking for.
– No, I have not heard of that, says one of the police officers.
At the operations center they don’t have a license on the sign either.
– The situation has been reported by the bus company, and it would have been nice if the sign had appeared, says police operations manager Jens Dahl.
A large number of police did not search for the stolen sign.

A high level of aggression was reported by several supporters already several hours before the match. NRK has been sent several films that show scuffles from masked and uniformed away supporters.
– I stood there with a 12-year-old boy who had his day ruined, writes a father who witnessed a fight in the center of Molde.
The police report that at least two people have fought, and that one is being looked after by health professionals. They will also go through the drone videos they have taken, after the match.

Clarification
According to NRK’s experience, the missing sign was handed in to the Seilet hotel around 5.15pm.
There is therefore a good chance that at least the Rosenborg players will get home safely to Trondheim.
