ITEM FROM THE WELLINGTON POST... Police admitted to being baffled by the mysterious disappearances from the unique antipodean collection held at the Wellington Museum of Natural History. A prize exhibit of a marsupial penguin was among the exhibits that have gone missing.
Forensic experts have taken casts of footprints from under a broken window. "It's a real puzzle" said Inspector Stump, "The footprints were barefoot, so our investigations are leaning towards it being the work of a real nutter, or a very silly prank indeed. I mean, what would anyone want with a load of stuffed museum exhibits?"
It was only last week that researchers from New Line Cinema visited the museum for inspiration for the upcoming third installment of
the Lord of the Rings trilogy "The Return of the King". They will, of course, be deeply disappointed at the museum's loss.
Anyone who has any information at all is asked to contact Inspector Stump in the strictest confidence at Wellington Police HQ, or email his executive detectives on stumped(a)NZpolice.com
