In a Facebook post, Kwabena said the Tacoma was the car that was robbed.

"I was dressing up when Saka knocked on my door that the reception had called him. The Tacoma has been burgled. Someone smashed the front window and took lots of stuff, including my wallet and possibly Kwame’s passport."

Kwabena Peprah added that they could not touch the car until the German police came and checked it.

"We are not allowed to touch the car before the police have had their turn and so at the moment, I’m sitting in a German police station waiting to file a report and go through the processes."

If one of the adventurers' passports is missing, Kwabena said they can get another issued at the Ghana Embassy in Berlin.

"If Kwame’s passport was in the car, I’m sure we can get a new one issued at the embassy in Berlin but the trip may be over for him because the other visas needed along the route will not be easy to reissue."
