Police said on Friday they were hunting a man who stole a urinal from a pub toilet.
The suspect walked into the Royal Oak pub in Southampton, ordered half a pint of beer and then made several visits to the men's toilet.
There he carefully removed a white urinal from the wall, stuffed it into a rucksack and was captured on closed circuit television walking out with the bulging sack on his back.
"He made a very, very expert job of dismantling it from the wall and turning the water off. A very professional job," landlord Alan Dreja said in a video posted on the Southampton Daily Echo newspaper's Web site.
A police spokesman said the thief may have been a tradesman.
"One of the theories is the guy is some sort of cut-price plumber who is going round and stealing parts to order," he said.

Take the mother in law.. no go on, take her, I don't want her.
I'm here all week. Why don't you try the veal :)
I think he was just attempting to take the piss, quite succesfully.
A 42 year old man has handed himself into police in Salisbury. He said he took it as a souvenir.
What was he going to do with it?
