A Hello Kitty-themed Taroko Express train made its inaugural run in Taiwan on March 21, 2016. The train was installed with a total of 376 headrest covers with Hello Kitty patterns printed on them. But when the train finished its round trip from Taipei to Taitung on Monday, the train attendants found that all but 48 headrest covers got stolen.

Each such headrest cover had costed the train company some TWD 50 (USD 1.6) to made. The company said they have prepared 120 extra covers just in case but did not expect that 328 pieces would be stolen on the train’s maiden trip.
