"20 years" before 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 Olav Hestenes and Ole 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".
