British police are investigating an unusual theft: the UK’s largest mobile, inflatable planetarium, a regular feature at schools and music festivals…

Local police issued the alert after the inflatable, run by the University of Hertfordshire, was stolen by suspects allegedly driving a silver Land Rover Discovery on October 21. The owners think the crooks intended to take the trailer it was stored in, rather than the stellar dome itself.

Well that blew up

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world on 02 Nov 14:48 collapse

I don’t think it did. In fact, I think it left the owners feeling deflated.

Do you think the thieves will bounce now people know

Lurker@lemmy.zip on 03 Nov 00:07 collapse

If they don’t I’m sure there will be some real inflated charges.

MrNesser@lemmy.world on 03 Nov 08:17 collapse

I hope they find it otherwise the scientific community will be very deflated

Between this and the cheese, Britain can’t catch a break.

the UK’s largest mobile, inflatable planetarium

It’s like the size of a truck fully inflated. I can’t find a single picture of the inside. I’m guessing that this isn’t a sought after status…

Just a thought but has anybody checked out the owner of the second largest inflatable planetarium?

Meanwhile at the birthday party

“What the fuck? This isn’t a bounce house!”

Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee on 02 Nov 23:56 next collapse

I bet it was the guy that had to inflate it.

“Fuck this shit,” was heard shortly before the disappearance.

Maybe that request for a compressor should not have been rejected.

Wow, it looks exactly like when god changes the input from daytime to nighttime!
