[quote]A Bowen Tourist Information employee arrived at work this morning to find the 10-tonne fibreglass structure gone.
Bowen Tourism chairman Paul McLaughlin says there had been no planned maintenance for the popular tourist attraction.
Mr McLaughlin said an employee received a big shock when she arrived at work to find the tourist attraction gone.
"I got a phone call from Christin Short, the tourism manager ... I thought she was joking to start off with, but she said 'no, I'm serious', so I've come out and sure enough the mango has disappeared," he said.[/quote]

I just don't know what you would even do with a 10 ton mango.
I have a feeling a pun can be made here but I really cannot think of one.
What [I]can't[/I] you do with a ten ton mango?

Evidently they want to repurpose the mango into a 10 ton fiberglass model of a jar of mango jam.

How the fuck would they move it?

Not with that attitude.
I honest to god thought the title would've been a Skyrim joke from the main page.
Who the hell steals a ten ton mango?
nooooooooooooooooo
the only thing i've ever loved
how the hell do you even get away with stealing this in the first place
how do you not make carrying/flying/driving a 20 foot mango through a city look suspicious
Maybe it went to heaven

I dunno, if you had a shipping container big enough it might work.

and his name was james
I think the guy that stole it was bananas, but he didn't have enough fruit to feed his addiction.

no, he was evidently coco[i]nuts[/i].
How the hell do you manage to sell something like that? It's probably just going to sit somewhere for the rest of its life.
What a waste.

A truck? I'm actually not sure if any trucks can move 10 tons, but hey, I'm not a truck expert so..
takes a true mangone bad to pull that off
That mango is now mangone.
I've been to that mango personally, the effort that would have been required to steal that thing would be monstrous....Why in the world?
Fuck, I was thinking this whole time that it was an [I]actual mango,[/I] like it had somehow been grown on a tree, and I was thinking "How the fuck are you people not amazed by the fact that it even exists".
Good, nobody suspects a thing. [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-ninja.gif[/IMG]
This sounds like something Gru would do :o
where would a mango with the mango?
[QUOTE=be;44026642]A truck? I'm actually not sure if any trucks can move 10 tons, but hey, I'm not a truck expert so..[/QUOTE]
trucks can carry way more than that
Yeah, but would it have to be a flatbed? Even then they'd have to use crane or something to lift it in to said truck.
maybe they cut it into little pieces and moved them in their pockets
seems plausible
Going to call this as an advertising stunt for the town of Bowen. Sure enough it will reappear...
...and i said, what [I]wouldn't[/I] you do with a ten ton mango?
