The theft of a blimp has left a business deflated and two men out of work.The blimp, a motorised balloon operated by remote control, was stolen from suburban Granville in Sydney while in an enclosed trailer attached to a car. Mat Tubb, a spokesman for the blimp's owner, Airship Solutions, is hoping the stolen goods will be too hot to handle.
The blimp, which is about 8m long and also used for aerial photography, flies unmanned and is controlled from the ground by a van. Without the control van, the blimp is useless.
The trailer and blimp have a combined value of about $30,000.http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,23032557-5006301,00.html
