Would you steal a public urinal?

A man walks into a bar.. and steals a public urinal. No joke. He went right up, ordered a half pint of brew in a UK Southampton pub, and began his privy privation. The thief made frequent trips to the little boy’s room and upon successful removal of the unit, stuffed it into a duffel and proceeded out the door. Apparently, no one noticed his backpack had expanded five-fold, nor the smell emanating from it. The crafty one was caught on the security cam, but has not been found.

The latrine lifter was so careful during the whole process (he even made sure to shut off the water valve) local police believe he is going to sell it. Perhaps he was just a fan of Marcel Duchamp, the surrealist artist who displayed the piece entitled Fountain, a porcelain urinal signed “R. Mutt 1917″, which has spawned many many interpretations ranging from poverty (from the German “armut”) to “moneybags” (on Duchamp’s admittance that the initial “R” stood for “Richard”, or French slang for “moneybags”).
