Stupid Criminal: Thieves Stole 35 Porta-Potties . . . That Were “Full”?
Well, No Sweat News fans. Today we have a wonderful “Idiot Criminal of The Day” story direct from England. Some genius thought it would be a good idea to steal porta potties. And, as it turned out some of them were still full with poo. So to recap so far we have: 1. Stolen porta potties and, 2: Some of them still had poo in them.
Now, I’m not sure if I can declare a crime here because it seems to me that the perpetrator of this thing is actually a bigger victim than the person who had their porta potties stolen. However, cops are investigating the whole sordid affair.
This whole crappy thing went down in Pencombe, Herefordshire. The porta potties were at a local race track, the Ludlow Autograss Club.
As an aside, check out the video from the club below. It’s pretty darn cool. Auto grass racing is like racing those little modified four-wheelers except instead of dirt or indoors they do it on a grass track. There’s tons of spin outs and it looks pretty wicked.
But, back to our main story: The stolen, poo-filled, porta potties. The owner of the track says that about 35 units were stolen at the end of the race day. And, yes, some of them had not been emptied yet by the rental company that services the units.
35 porta potties is at least one flat bed of them and it’s not a one man job to move them around so the local police think that this is a multi-person sting. The owner of the porta pottie rental company is scratching their head over this caper. They told the local news that each unit costs about one thousand bucks and the handicapped unit is about 2k. So, we’re talking about $40 grand in stolen porta potties, some of which were full.
But, where would one sell a stolen porta pottie had one just stolen them? I don’t want to ask the question about what the Idiot Criminal of the Day did with all the poo that they stole by mistake.
