You only have the scooter when you are chasing the security cart around the mall. You use the password (frost) to get it from the Manager's Office, and charge it with the charger device from MacGuffin's. After you chase down the cart, Eddie the snake has the scooter (and may still have it when you leave).
You dont you just have to keep up with him.
night right after you get caught the thief is the investigator
Night
The scooter is just a part of the chase of the shady guy (thief) through the streets of Counterfeit Island. You go from the Jazz cafe downtown to the docks. There is no way to catch him, but you must avoid the open sewer manholes in the road. There is no way to get the scooter at any other time.
once you figure it out he runs away and you have to chase him on a scooter then he drives away on a motor boat
Are the police catching the thief. active - The police caught the thief. passive - The thief was caught
After you get the picture of the thief, you talk to the mimes. They act a singing duet, trying to tell you to go to the jazz club. Afteryou talk to the thief you go through a mini-scooter chase after him. Then he gets away.
hang from the light above it
You don't. When the thief escapes after the scooter chase, pick up the Keycard and go back to the museum, where you have a package waiting.
The security cart is still driving around the atrium while you get the charger from MacGuffin's but may not be there when you exit on the scooter. Try driving to the left side escalator, where you will eventually go to trap him. If he doesn't appear, go left into the mall, then come back and the chase may refresh.
