They went 'Big,' but should have stayed home.

Three young New Jersey men surrendered to police in connection with an alleged vandalism spree and theft of 200 stuffed animals from the amusement park best known for its role in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie "Big," authorities said Wednesday.

The trio allegedly trashed Playland Amusement Park in Rye, New York, in the overnight hours of Sept. 23-24, after arriving at the beachside venue in a row boat, police said.

The young men then "climbed a fence to enter the amusement area" and began their spree, which caused $57,000 in damage, according to a police statement.

The trio is accused of entering the Playland amusement park in Rye, N.Y., during the overnight hours of Sept. 23-24 and committing acts of theft and vandalism.
