You are asking someone to prove a negative? That is ludicrous. Imagine your statement applied to any other scenario such as law... Prove the person didn't commit the murder or he gets life. It is precisely why those alleging a hypothesis must prove the thesis, it is not the job of everyone else to disprove an unproven hypothesis.

That escalated quickly! Yes, the fact that they can't find a source that says, "oh yeah, we bury those things all the time!" is certainly suspicious. But on the other hand, I don't trust any of the blogs involved to actually dig up a source. Instead they just post screenshots of Twitter, which doesn't really add any information.

  In your mind how would that source verify JCB's are not there? They would have to ground-penetrate the entire City of London and Greater London conurbation.

    Downvoted for being right again. Oh HN - you are nothing if not predictably petty. :-)
