Simpson trials

Homer Simpson, of cartoon fame and soon to be a movie star, has been cast in fibreglass along with the rest of his family. Which is how two Malaysian students were able to "lift him" from a cinema there. But thanks to the vigilance of a bystander, the perpetrators were tracked through their vehicle number plate - and Homer has been returned, unharmed, to his rightful place on the couch. Not so lucky is another Homer in Sydney - who is now armless after someone made off with his arm (complete with remote control - or was it a block of chocolate?) While Homer's arm has since been returned by an unknown man, Bart who was also taken, remains at large - or at least "life-sized" as reported in The Daily Telegraph - although I'm not quite sure what constitutes life-sized for a cartoon character.
