D'oh! Thieves drove off with a life-size statue of television cartoon star Homer Simpson poking out of their getaway car, the Motion Picture Association said on June 21st.
The theft, committed under cover of darkness early on June 18th, took place outside a cinema in a suburban Kuala Lumpur shopping centre, said Nor Hayati Yahaya, Malaysia's director of the association.
Hayati expressed surprise at the brazen act, which was captured on several closed-circuit TV monitors. Pictures show two men lugging away the bulky Homer, who then protruded from the boot of the getaway car.
"There is CCTV everywhere in the shopping centre and the worst part is they couldn't close the bonnet because Homer is too big," Hayati told AFP.
She said cameras also captured the not-too-smart thieves' car licence plate number.
