Some Idiots had to much to
Some Idiots had to much to drink, walked past it, decided to steal it, and about 3/4 of a mile later realized it was to heavy and what the fuck were they going to do with it anyway and set it down.
This is my theory.
Try scrappers
This is too heavy to carry very far, let alone a mile.
Stupid Kids
Case closed!
At a normal time of year ...
They would only be able to carry it 1/8 of a mile.
Found the culpret
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Brookline, and tell them, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my menorah go, that it may serve me to navigate that damned rotary.
Are we sure
the TLF did not have anything to do with it?
I hope not
If turkeys have figured out how to move a 300 pound menorah, then we've got some serious trouble ahead.

Putterham Rotary
I thought they are called "roundabouts"..
You should pay less attention
You should pay less attention to your GPS, and more to the signs: https://goo.gl/maps/nLNK5AKMV2H2
But pay no attention at all ...
To the signs scattered about the parkways of Brookline that warn of impending "traffic circles," for those were surely painted by a New York concern that submitted the lowest bid.
Yes I think they are
But there are 3 signs like this at Putterham, so who's to say?
Roundabouts
In and around Brookline, menorahs come out of the sky, and they stand there.
Yes
Yes
With a name like "Putterham"
It really should be a roundabout!
Putterham Roundabout sounds more together than Putterham Rotary or Circle.
Well ...
There's a strip mall at the rotary, and it used to have a store called the Roundabout.

They put a menorah on Church St... We put a cross on Synagogue Lane
