Fly-Tipping and the 12' Ape

Where did you come from 12' Ape Creature?
Police in England responded to the call of a dog walker who came upon a 12' metal ape during his stroll along a bridleway in Cambridgeshire.  The headline of the article said "Police Investigate Fly-Tipping."  We've heard Sarah talk about the cow-tipping they used to do on the farm, but fly-tipping?  Aren't they too tiny to flip over?  And how does that relate to a giant metal ape in the woods?  After a little research, we found out fly-tipping is the British slang for illegal dumping.  Authorities have no idea who did it or why the ape was dumped in the woods.  Maybe it was a Big Foot hoax.  The men took it away to be trashed.  I think they should have left it there as an art sculpture. Someone worked very hard on creating it.
