No Serenity Love at Universal Studios

I just got back from vacation in Southern California, and while I was there, I stopped at Universal Studios to see what Serenity stuff they might have on display. I figured my best bet was the tram tour. Unfortunately, all I saw (with the exception of Mary Parent's parking spot -- how much of a geek am I for noticing that??) was the mule, which was literally in the weeds on the side of the road near Universal's foliage department. The tour guide didn't even mention it as we drove by! In fact, there were some pieces of heavy machinery nearby, all painted in construction yellow (like the mule), so I'm fairly certain no one on the tour even realized it was a movie prop!
Besides that? Nuthin'. No souvenirs, no posters, no props, nada, zip, zilch.
What gives??

so if no-one cared about the mule being there or not, do you think they would care if we conjured up a cunning plan to go in and, ahem, 'liberate' it?
We could give it to Joss or one of the cast (they're the ones most likely to have room I suppose) with a nice flat piece of wood for disguising it as a table, should someone come looking for it.
Did Nathan ever get that coat? would make a lovely birthday present...
so anyone up for a night of crime?

Hope your good at bartering

Rubbish actually.
But seeing as i'm stuck in England, I would be hiring the worlds best bartering secret agent to do it.
Them, or a bunch of stuntmen. cheaper, effective, and entertaining to boot.

I have room, no one with the money to mount a search would ever think to look here and everyone who would care would be welcome.

it's a plan!
dubious, ill thought out and highly improbable, but a plan nonetheless!

Certainty of being caught... Impossible odds... Small chance of success... What are we waiting for?

I'm getting a wierd 'dog that didn't bark' feeling about Universal- never an outfit to avoid tooting their horn. They couldn't wait to take the website down, and aren't responding to the high ratings all over... what's up with that?
