Police Looking for Portaloo
Tasmanian police are on the hunt for an identical portaloo that has apparently been stolen last month from the exact same location in the tiny town of Tullah.
Bonus view of Mt Murchison, apparently.
On Tuesday this week, a Facebook post made by the Police themselves even went viral either because of the weirdness of the whole crime, the police force’s own use of shitty puns (!), or both.
“Rosebery Police is investigating the theft of a portable toilet from road works at Tullah on Tasmania’s West Coast,” the Facebook post read.
“So far the investigating officer has nothing to go on.
“Police believe the portable loo was stolen some time between Saturday 27 March to Monday 29 March.”
That’s all the information TT has, plus the picture for reference which makes this toilet look like the most scenically-positioned portaplonk ever.
It’s unclear why someone would even want to steal a portaloo in the first place, and how they did so without getting caught. It not like driving around the few streets of Tullah with a portaloo in tow would go unnoticed. Perhaps it was just a moment of insanitary?
Judging from the location, the portaloo would have been in use by road workers on the upgrading of the Murchison Highway. And now they have nowhere to go … crap!
If any of you come across the stray portaloo and/or the alleged people who purloined it, Tasmania Police would like to hear from you on 131444.
Perhaps your clues will be the vital details that flush the thieves out.
I dunny about you but we need this crime solved.
