Lock Your Doors...
FOND DU LAC, Wis. - Someone is either too cheap to buy his own toilet paper or planning a big prank.
Fond du Lac County Executive Allen Buechel said someone has been repeatedly stealing toilet paper from the men's public bathrooms at the Fond du Lac City County Government Center since June.
Buechel suspects the person comes in once or twice a week around midday and gets about six rolls a week from dispensers. Some rolls weren't even full, he said.
The thefts haven't been a big loss.
"We don't buy the best toilet paper," Buechel said.
He expects the thief to get caught. "Someone is going to walk in on him when he's doing it and we'll catch him," he said.
Courthouse officials are on the lookout for suspicious activity.
County sheriff Capt. Dean Will didn't return a call for comment Friday.

"Someone is going to walk in on him when he's doing it and we'll catch him..."
This looks like a job for Larry Craig! I hear he needs a job.

Maybe the guy(s)/gal(s) is/are homeless?

Hmm, stealing bulky objects from the courthouse on a regular basis... brilliant!
Sounds like an inside job to me.

When I was in school at UMD, we were constantly stealing toilet paper from campus bathrooms. Then again, we tended to have backpacks handy, and we'd only take a roll at a time...taking six at once would take more planning.

I once was asked in a job interview if I would ever steal a pencil from my employer. I answered "no" (a lie).
When asked if I had ever been arrested for anything, I told them "yes" (the truth).
When I said it was for skiing in an avalanche area (the truth), they gave me the job.
Kind of makes you think, doesn't it?
