Mumbai Police soon took notice of the tweet and shared a heartening reply. “We’ve received a 'nostalgic heist' report from @anandmahindra Sir! We can clearly see the theft, but we cannot take possession of it. Those B.E.S.T cherished memories are safely kept in your heart, and among all Mumbaikars,” the department wrote. The “B.E.S.T” reference in the tweet is a nod to Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), the company responsible for operating the buses.

The police department's response too received a reply from Anand Mahindra in form of a praiseful tweet. “You guys are something else,” the business tycoon wrote along with a few clapping emoticons.
