R2-D2 and Kermit stolen
Frauenfeld - Has anyone seen one piependen robot and a garrulous frog? Thieves stole the "Star Wars" cult androids R2-D2 and Kermit the frog from the "Muppet Show".
The two movie stars had found a new home in Europe's largest collection of film props. Its owner, the Swiss Roman Güttinger, can not explain what the thieves want to do with their prey.
"If the items offered on the market, then it is like trying to sell a Mona Lisa. The police can easily trace the source of things came from, "he explains. Except Kermit and R2-D2 and a habit of Rocky Balboa, and a bust of "Dance of the devils are gone."
The brave R2-D2 has proven in the "Star Wars" films so often that he can free himself from the hands of evil powers. The thieves have forgotten but unfortunately its battery charger. Without the cute juice, 1.20 meters high tin does not make a peep.
