LONDON (Reuters) - British police said Friday they were hunting a man who stole a urinal from a pub toilet.
(http://today.reuters.com/misc/GenImage.aspx?uri=2007-01-05T161140Z_01_L05622658_RTRUKOP_2_PICTURE0.jpg&resize=w192)
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 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.
