Red Panda offers reward for stolen unicycle

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Rong Niu, the unicyclist who's performed as Red Panda in countless halftime shows at NBA and NCAA arenas across North America for decades, had her custom unicycle stolen from San Francisco International Airport on Jan. 24.

A $2,000 reward is being offered for its return, according to KTVU's Lisa Fernandez.

"She's heartbroken," said Niu's agent, Pat Figley. "It's like her baby was kidnapped. She's had that unicycle for 30 years."

In her Red Panda performances, Niu kicks chinaware and plates into the air and balances them on her head while on the unicycle.

Niu shot down rumors last year that she was planning on retiring.
