Police hunt pub urinal thiefLONDON (Reuters) - British police said 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.
The half-pint should have been the first tip-off that this clown was up to 'no good™'.
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 Web site.
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.
"Hi, Mr. Plumber? Why are there crusty pubes on my new toilet?"
