HEARTBROKEN: More Mobility owner Brian Parker consoles a lonely Mr Dummy over the abduction of his wife.

A flowing black wig and some fluffy pink slipper-boots are all an elderly Hamilton man has left to remind him of his adored wife after she was abducted by two scantily clad barefoot girls on Monday.

Mr and Mrs Dummy were parked up in their usual hangout outside More Mobility, on the corner of Palmerston and Pembroke Sts, when the stuffed senior citizen was grabbed from the back of their mobility scooter for two.

Mr Dummy was still too upset to speak yesterday, but More Mobility owner Brian Parker said the stuffed man was heartbroken.

"She was the love of his life," he said. "He would have given chase but the keys were out of his scooter at the time."

More Mobility employee Bruce Shaw, who saw the broad-daylight abduction unfold, chased after the "two young girls wearing short shorts one of them pink and barefeet" until his knees gave out.

Mrs Dummy's slipper-boots and wig fell off as the girls ran.

Mr Shaw said abductors must have been old enough to drive because they took off in a waiting green car.

However, they had turned into no-exit Fow St, giving a witness time to write down the car's registration.

Mr Parker said the police were investigating the matter.

He said the Dummies had come to Hamilton from Auckland four years ago, and Mrs Dummy had never missed a day since.

"She was my best worker."

Except for attracting waves from passing children, and photographs at the Fieldays, Mrs Dummy had kept a fairly low profile, unlike her husband who, on one occasion, had a concerned person offer him assistance to cross a busy street.

Mr Parker said locals had been supportive of Mr Dummy since his wife's abduction.

"People kept coming into the shop to ask where she has gone.

" ... now I have put a sign up (to explain her absence) people have been coming in to say how sad they are," Mr Parker said.

He and Mr Shaw thought "idle hands" would have been the girls' main motivation, and hoped there were no sinister plans for Mrs Dummy.

She is described as being 173cm tall with "striking blue eyes".

Mrs Dummy was wearing her work uniform a black shirt and dark pants.

The men said they would be willing to drop the matter with the police if the girls returned Mrs Dummy unharmed and "washed some windows" as punishment.

"Bring her back he's a heart-broken old fella," Mr Parker said.

"You could never replace her she was one of a kind."
