Bronze hippo sculpture stolen from luxury show garden Kent

"An “extremely heavy” bronze hippopotamus has been stolen from a luxury garden ornament business in Kent, police said.
The two-metre long sculpture was taken from Chilstone, near Tunbridge Wells, between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

Kent Police believe that the three-quarter tonne hippopotamus may have been lifted onto the back of a truck by “mechanical means".

They appealed for witnesses who may have spotted the “hugely distinctive” sculpture, which requires the strength of five people to lift.

PC Nick Lingham said that the thieves would have needed a large vehicle and possibly a winch to steal the sculpture from the business' show gardens."

If 5 people can lift 1637 pounds between them, that means they have lifted 327 pounds each, I certainly won’t be stopping them!!! 2015 HT XS 90
