Nah, they didn't lose it! Someone stole it, one piece at a time, and took
it out of the plant in their lunch bucket. ;-o


So, somewhere out there there's an entire Martin Mars hidden away? I guess it'll
show up at Fantasy of Flight sooner or later. :-)

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

Right. Problem is, it will take a while longer than they originally
thought. Seems the culprit didn't think it through, quite enough.

The thieves are now having to put the parts back together. Problem is, that
it is hard to reassemble a prop from all of the 6"" x 8" x 10" chunks that
fit in the lunch boxes. That's just the prop. How about the engine case,
and tires? g

Thanks George. You're a great straight man!

Naw ... They just carried *really big* lunch boxes. :-)

Could be. When asked about why such a big lunchbox, they could reply that
it is a five course meal for 100. g
