Well how do you know it is leaking memory here?

In case of the line above the collider wrapper is attached to the mesh 
object
and also stored in the ref. So in the case above the collider will be 
removed
when:
    a) the 'vpColliderWrapper' variable gets out of scope.
AND
    b) the mesh is removed.

It would be nice to say that the tiny frogs thought long and hard about the
new flower, about life in the old flower, about the need to explore, about
the possibility that the world was bigger than a pool with petals around
the edge.
In fact, what they thought was: "._._.mipmip._._.mipmip._._.mipmip".
