JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – Valuable parts have been stolen from restrooms across the Denver metro area and then cashed in for money. Now investigators say they know who is responsible.

Donald Allen Citron, 48, faces 18 charges, including burglary and theft. He’s accused of stealing toilet parts from several locations, including Southwest Plaza Mall, University of Denver, and Craig Hospital.

Most of the crimes happened in just a few minutes, but police Citron is a plumber and all he needed was a wrench and a screw driver to steal pipes and the plumbing in toilets. The items he’s accused of stealing are valued at around $6,400. Jefferson County deputies say Citron stole toilet plumbing, pipes and flush valves at several businesses and restaurants in return for cash from local metal scrap yards.

“What he takes and gets very little money for at these scrap yards is costing these business thousands of dollars to replace,” Jamie Greaser with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department said.

Okay okay both of you..........

“Who copped your copper crapper?”

That sounds like a title of a “Scooby Doo Where are you?” episode

and....

“Tomorrow’s headlines today:

Coppers Crack Copper Crapper Caper”

Sounds something like you would have seen written on a street wall in “The Benny Hill Show”.

Could be Benny Hill though! He always called police officers "coppers" and was writing funny stuff on the street walls.

You may be right about Benny Hill. Somehow, I always associate him with the science of scatology.
