Giant toilet stolen

Seattle, why do you insist on stealing the weirdest things you can find? You steal kidneys [mb], you steal bunnes [mb], and now you steal a 7-foot-tall mobile carpeted toilet [Times]? What is wrong with you?

Admittedly, it’s likely that the people who stole the Crapster, which was the runner up in the best-loved entries competition at last weekend’s Soap Box Derby, didn’t know what they were stealing. The theives took the U-Haul that was sitting outside of a downtown hotel on Sunday night, probably hoping to find some poor sucker’s valuables inside. Still, the theft of the creation is probably not helping diplomatic relations between Seattle and Colorado Springs, where it was made. As it’s been clocked at 30 mph, I can only hope that it escapes and makes a break for freedom, outrunning its kidnappers and having a tearful reuinion with its makers.

    Man! Thats the Crappiest thing I’ve ever heard. I certainly hope they find and prosecute those hardened criminals who absconded with the Kings Throne!

    Good Morning,

    First we (Team Crapster) would like to thank you for making this public and assisting us with trying to locate The Crapster and the U-Haul truck. Fortunately we received a phone call from the Seattle PD on Saturday night. They found the U-Haul truck but no sign of The Crapster or any of our stuff. So The Crapster is still missing in action. Again, thank you for all the support.

    Sincerely,
    Team Crapster
