Okay, the old ones aren't always the best.

Just saw this: www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-oxfordshire-49700620

Love the fact it was offered to Trump.
Also devastated I may never get my three-minute go on it

Hope they just don't dump it and leave someone else to carry the can.

One eye witness described the thief as 'built like a brick shithouse' Grin

What a crap thing for anyone to do! Wink

ScreamingValenta · 14/09/2019 17:56

I'm sure they'll flush the culprits out soon.

AdaColeman · 14/09/2019 19:29

Police admit that they are baffled by the case, though they hope to get to the bottom of it soon.

Meanwhile, local rumour has it that the gang have a rural hideaway in a nearby bog.

Whoever was guarding it did a piss poor job I'm afraid.

ISmellBabies · 14/09/2019 19:32

They stole a gold toilet? That's rich!

ISmellBabies · 14/09/2019 19:35

Police are currently following the paper trail.

What a bunch of armitage shankers. 🚽

Longdistance · 14/09/2019 19:41

It’ll be a flush in the pan decision to steal it. Maybe they’ll loo roll with it?!

Brahumbug · 14/09/2019 19:46

I am surprised they let the news out about the theft. I thought they would have kept the lid on it.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 14/09/2019 19:54

Apparently the getaway vehicle was last seen disappearing round a bend on the road.

Soubriquet · 14/09/2019 19:56

Just here for these amazing puns GrinGrinGrin

ScreamingValenta · 14/09/2019 20:00

Detectives believe it may be linked to a chain of similar thefts.

ISmellBabies · 14/09/2019 20:03

I'm not saying it's an inside job, but something stinks about it.

CendrillonSings · 14/09/2019 20:07

The authorities aren’t going to be able to brush this one under the rug...

Could be they'll need someone to grass up the gang to the police.
You know, a stool pigeon.

Seems to have been a bog standard theft . . .

AdaColeman · 14/09/2019 20:16

Apparently, people are queuing up... to give witness statements, though police fear some accounts may be a tissue of lies.

profpoopsnagle · 14/09/2019 20:20

The vehicle was a Renault van, apparently the police know this from the skid marks that were left.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 14/09/2019 20:20

They don't know if it was an opportunistic theft or part of a bigger movement.

7Worfs · 14/09/2019 20:24

Number 1 suspect has been apprehended!

AdaColeman · 14/09/2019 20:30

Police hope they are close to solving the case; they are flushed with success!

ISmellBabies · 14/09/2019 20:31

Number 2 suspect is still on the loose.

ISmellBabies · 14/09/2019 20:32

Apparently the idea of extra security was poo-pooed.
