swittle Aug 2017 1:44pm, 10 Aug 2017 45,007 posts	0 swittle Attempts to misappropriate the encased form of Jeremy Bentham from UCLs entrance in my time at King's were thwarted by the sheer avoirdupois of the learned gentleman. However, in 1989, Bentham's mummified head was stolen by King's 'mascoteers' and a wax replacement met a similar fate two years later. In contrast, thefts of Reggie the Lion from KCLs Strand Building were frequent: he was found virtually flattened in a quarry, and his ahem leonine regalia were cruelly removed by Imperial College villains, only to be retrieved and reattached!
