I believe a reward is now being offered :cigar:

Thief pinches Lego Churchill’s cigar from his mouth after award ceremony

Published on 

A Lego bust of Sir Winston Churchill has been deprived of a vital accessory – his cigar.

It had been clamped between the wartime leader’s jaws at the Royal Hall in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, but officials there were horrified to discover it was missing after an awards ceremony.

They believe the cigar was stolen as a drunken prank and are appealing to guests to help find it. 

The bust, built with more than 2,000 pieces, was installed to promote the Lego exhibition The Great Brick Adventure, which opens on August 31 at the town’s convention centre.

 

Venue spokesman Richard Catton said: ‘Winston Churchill without his cigar is like Yorkshire pudding without onion gravy.’

If it were truly a 'drunken prank' then most likely the knuckleheads tried to smoke the thing too. :o
