Thieves Steal Toilet Seat From Courthouse - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

Two thieves in Sweden took the word ’bold’ to a whole new level by stealing from a district courthouse. The male and female crooks were caught on surveillance trying to break into a storage locker, and had wandered into a break room, stealing coffee, sugar and tea, before taking a toilet seat from the restroom. They were quickly arrested outside of the courthouse and detained for ‘suspicion of robbery and attempted robbery’, but police officials didn’t lose their sense of humor during the ordeal stating, “It's been said they had been at a hearing. They clearly thought what was said was crap.”

In March of 2012, an Austrian crook was charged with shoplifting after stealing a toilet seat from a local DIY store. He concealed the wooden seat under his clothing and hurried out of the store when he realized that two police officers were also in the shop. Cops caught the man in his own home, while he was replacing his broken toilet seat with the new, stolen one. In another headline, a Colorado man was arrested after stealing plumbing from public bathrooms and scrapping the metal. The plumber known as the ‘Crapper Scrapper’ was charged with 18 counts of second-degree burglary and theft.
