Victoria Police have issued an SOS and are currently on the hunt for the white jumpsuit originally worn by Agnetha Faltskog during their 1977 Australian Tour.
The jumpsuit, which Agnetha wore on Arrival cover, and is seen in the opening scene of ABBA The Movie. The jumpsuit has Agnetha's name on the back, and is believed to have been stolen from a Healesville house then sold on at a garage sale.
The famous jumpsuit was gifted to a Qantas flight attendant in 1977 as Agnetha was on the long journey home from Abba'a Australian Tour. This year the flight attendant leased out her home with this treasure stored in the shed at the house.
The tenants are now being interviewed by Police, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. Police would like to speak to anyone who may have attended a garage sale at the Don Road House in May this year.
