Cops hunt urinal thief
05/01/2007 21:02 - (SA)
London - British police said on Friday they
were hunting a man who stole a urinal from a pub toilet.
The suspect walked into the Royal Oak pub in Southampton, on
the English south coast, ordered half a pint of beer and then
made several visits to the men's toilet.
There he carefully removed a white urinal from the wall,
stuffed it into a rucksack and was captured on closed circuit
television walking out with the bulging sack on his back.
"He made a very, very expert job of dismantling it from the
wall and turning the water off. A very professional job,"
landlord Alan Dreja said in a video posted on the Southampton
Daily Echo newspaper's website.
A police spokesman said the thief may have been a tradesman.
"One of the theories is the guy is some sort of cut-price
plumber who is going round and stealing parts to order," he
said.
