Stolen Homer Simpson Statue Found
By admin | June 21, 2007
Two college students believed to be over-exuberant fans of “The Simpsons” stole a life-sized figurine of Homer Simpson from a cinema, but police tracked them down and forced them to return it Thursday.
“This case has been solved,” Mazlan Mansor, police chief of Malaysia’s central Petaling Jaya district, told The Associated Press.
The fiberglass replica of Homer holding a TV remote control was part of a promotional display at a local cinema for the upcoming big-screen version of the U.S. TV cartoon series.
The exhibit included the rest of the Simpson family - Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie - sitting on a couch at a multiplex lobby in a popular suburban shopping mall near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s largest city.
