The man, a patron at the Royal Oak pub, removed one of the urinals from the bathroom and carried it out of the bar. The only problem was a video camera caught the thief stealing the apparatus from the loo. —Porta-Potties have always been popular with folks on the move, but one man at a pub here recently took that popularity to new heights.
