Related: About this forumIsle of Wight model triceratops left in middle of high street
A dinosaur was left in the middle of a high street courtesy of some "drunken pranksters", it is believed.
A 25ft (7.6m) model triceratops had to be removed from High Street in Godshill on the Isle of Wight after it was dragged from the Jurassic Garden.
...
He said: "It takes about five blokes to move the dinosaur a couple of inches, so it was definitely a concerted effort and drink was probably involved."
He added he would now be securing the dinosaur to make sure the incident did not happen again.

I hope there's an investigation underway.
