ARCHIVED - Cartagena Council has shared a TikTok video which appears to show the theft of a La Manga location board
The Guardia Civil in the Murcia municipality has launched an investigation into the theft
A bizarre video which appears to show the theft of a location surfboard at Km1 in La Manga has been shared by Cartagena Council in a bid to track down whoever is responsible.
A young man can be seen taking the board away and placing it in a car before the clip moves to the terrace of a property, apparently in Madrid, where the marker board is being used for decoration.
Desde el Ayuntamiento de Cartagena hemos interpuesto una denuncia por la sustracción.

Ya se están haciendo averiguaciones para identificar a la persona y la ubicación de la tabla. https://t.co/nCmy3oG1VP
The council has confirmed that the board has indeed disappeared and that the police are looking into the theft.
The video has racked up lots of comments on social media, with one person stating they "hope the council takes action" and that the thief "is fined an amount sufficient to replace the boards for the next 20 years".
However, worryingly there are others who have said they want to "copy the idea this summer" when they visit La Manga.
The iconic surfboards are used to inform to tourists, locals and holidaymakers exactly where they are in La Manga.
