Is nothing sacred.

Post by ghostflyer »

Well during this lock down very little has been happening in this part of the world [Australia] . I do security checks outside doors locked and some times walk around in side the hangar to see if anything is changed. In normal times we have things evaporate [fuel,oil] and small things walk out the door . That’s the cost of doing business. But today I am ANGRY. I opened up the hangar and went to go to the toilet upstairs . Some one &$€&%#* has stolen all the toilet paper . We normally have at least 4 rolls as spares in a plastic bag with a roll on the toilet roll holder. Toilet paper is like gold in this country at the moment all the shelves have been bare in the supermarkets but they are slowly restocking.
BUT why steal my toilet paper?? This hangar has several keys for clients that store their aircraft . One aircraft is on call 24/7 and it is used to fly spares around To fix break downs for a large transport company . I have a suspect but as it’s been pointed out to me I have to have solid proof .[please no jokes] So CCTV is being fitted .

"Farging Iceholes."

Reference to Michael Keaton movie Johnny Dangerously (1984). Good movie.

Back when I was in high school, the local magic store in Dallas sold a prank product called “Itching Powder”. It was nothing but finely ground up fiberglas insulation. Nasty stuff. Probably illegal these days.

A few select rolls of toilet paper dusted liberally with it would probably discourage further theivery. :wink:

Initially I thought it was a great idea with the itchy powder but we have to think about the innocent people that might use it. I like George’s idea . The camera is going in on Sunday [with a sign].

SWIPERS OF WIPERS! There was a story - - - awww nevermind~! But cameras in the crapper itself may cause a problem. Best to focus with high resolution on the exit door to see who swipes the wipes.
