One of the most bizarre thefts of the year has finally been solved, as Kansas City police located a giant inflatable colon that was stolen off a truck. The 10-foot-high inflatable colon is used by the University of Kansas Cancer Center as an educational display on colorectal cancer at health fairs and other events. The Center calls it a great “conversation starter”.
