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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
