Thief's Bag full of Pee

Welcome back to the View from the Front Seat, which is still temporarily coming to you from beautiful Tempe, Arizona, home of the ASU Sun Devils. Speaking of devils, I've got a story for you of a thief who definitely has a lot of balls, so to speak. According to Reuters, the British police are on the lookout for a guy who was captured on video stealing a urinal from a restroom in a Southampton pub. That thief sure put the "p" in swipe, if you know what I'm saying.

Apparently he demonstrated he was quite a toilet wiz (Oh God, I'm starting with the bad puns again) from the way he efficiently disconnected the water, removed the urinal from the wall, stuffed it in an obviously large backpack and walked out with it. A guy certainly has to have a large bag (in more ways than one) to do that, doesn't he? I thought the guy had to be piss (sorry) loaded, but according to the story he only ordered half a pint. Owners of the pub couldn't hold it in any longer and when asked about it, they exploded about how peeved they and their patrons are, as a lot of the guys have just been hanging out (I really have to stop doing that) in the restroom since the theft ... there's certainly a lot of unhappee peeple. I'm not sure whether the thief will face any pisson (I mean prison) time for this, but I don't think I'd risk it. In any event Mr. Toilet Thief, urinal lot of trouble when the Police flush (I can't help pissing out the puns tonight) you out of hiding.

Alright, that's all I can stomach for tonight; I'm going to go try to get the "p" back in my pride. I'll pick you up again for the commute next week, when I'll be back home and back to normal, sharing the wisdom from the commutes to work with my business partner. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the road .... and make sure you use the bathroom before you go; you never know where you'll find the next toilet.
