Late last month, thieves in Seattle unwittingly stole a truck containing a 7-foot toilet. The truck, was stolen from a hotel parking lot, housed a soapbox race car, 7 feet high and 7 feet long, designed in the shape of a giant toilet.
A group of five friends from Colorado Springs built the humorously customized soapbox race car for a an event set to take place in late September in Seattle, Washington. Parked outside their hotel room, the truck disappeared sometime during the night.
The truck and it’s custom commode contents have yet to be recovered, though the thieves were likely a bit flushed upon discovering the cargo they had seized.
Intended driver of the racing toilet, Tom Valentine, commented, “We’re laughing about it.” Then stated he only wished he could have seen the faces of the thieves as they discovered what they had stolen.
Valentine went on to joke about the suspected response of the thieves, “My guess is, ‘Oh, crap! It’s a giant toilet!”
While the soapbox car didn’t win any races, it did receive second place in the people’s choice competition.
—- Can you imagine all the adrenaline running through your body as you heist the truck, get away and them the anticipation of opening the truck and TA DA! A giant toilet!
