Well, apparently some nutters nipped a life-size Dalek model and are now holding it ransom until they get further instructions as to what to do with it from Doctor Who.

My favorite bit is how the guy who runs the gallery it was taken from mentions that there was "no torture involved" with the removal of the plunger (weapon arm) from the Dalek model. I think he needs to take a little vacation until he can stop making slips like that. It's creepy.

It could be a relations stunt, but at least I find it nice that the BBC has enough of a sense of humor about it to have contacted Colin Baker (one of the actors who formerly played Doctor Who) to see if he'll talk to the "kidnappers" should the opportunity arise.

Hello, Reality? This is fandom calling... Dalek Kidnapped, news at 11
