Corrected entry: If the effects of the shrink ray wear off depending on the size of whatever is shrunk then the moon should have returned to its normal size within seconds of being shrunk.

Corrected entry: Gru pulls right up to Vector's place so the girls can deliver the cookies, in full view of Vector's cameras. How does Vector not notice Gru right outside his gate?
Correction: Although Vector has security cameras, Vector is never shown watching the cameras in this scene. When he is first shown in this scene, he is waiting at the door for Margo, Edith and Agnes to deliver the cookies, then after paying for cookies, goes back to his living room and watches TV. Even if the cameras taped Gru parking besides the house, there is no point in the scene that shows Vector watching the security footage, so he would not have discovered he was there.

Correction: This entry is merely an assumption. It is made clear that the larger an object that the shrink ray is used on, the quicker the effects of the wear off, but that's it. There is nothing in the movie that states specifically how long it would take for the effects of the shrink ray on the moon to wear off, so this can't really be considered a plot hole.
