Transportation without paying and the following media coverage

"20 years"[2] before year 2011, he was reported to have said "You do see who I am", when confronted with not having a ticket while riding on public transportation, one time that he and other passengers were being checked regarding valid tickets. The quote and the incident were mentioned in Verdens Gang, Dagbladet and Aftenposten. And in a TV-program the quote and the incident were discussed (by O.Hestenes and O.Paus), while a picture of Rieber-Mohns was continuously televised together with a "rolling text": "This man is a trikkesniker — this man is a trikkesniker — this man is a trikkesniker". In 2011, Rieber-Mohn said that the TV-program made him "deeply unhappy".

Og det ville jeg jo ikke. I stedet ble han og Olav Hestenes sittende og diskutere likevel, og oppe i hjørnet hadde de felt inne et bilde av meg, ledsaget av en rullende tekst: Denne mannen er trikkesniker — Denne mannen er trikkesniker — Denne mannen er trikkesniker" ... "Hele programmet igjennom"... "Det var helt forferdelig! Verden raste sammen! Jeg ble dypt ulykkelig. Plutselig var jeg beskyldt for å være en smålurvete person som for noen usle kroner hadde utsatt embedet for den største ulykke på lang, lang tid."
