I've just read (in The Sun, so consider the reliability of the source, but anyway) that the police are investigating the possibility that the guyropes were cut by vandals. First reaction is that this would be easy to check - look for cut ropes - which makes me think that maybe they've already found cut ropes, and now they're trying to figure out whether it was done as part of the rescue operation or not. Apparently the exhibit itself was sliced up at a previous location.

The London appearance has been confirmed cancelled, so there goes the birthday plan. Does anybody have any thoughts on what else might be fun to do? I'm completely lacking in ideas.
