Porta Potty Pyro

Today, the Clorox Company offered a Five Thousand Dollar reward and a full year of cleaning supplies for information on the porta potty pyro serial arsonist. No, this is NOT an April fools joke. This has been going on in the North Beach, Nob Hill and Russian Hill neighborhoods of San Francisco since last year. There have been 27 fires set at various porta potties around the city.
In order to bring awareness to this problem, protesters armed themselves with plungers and signs with slogans like “We’re not going to take this sitting down” and marched through city streets.
Now while I have absolutely no idea why these porta potties are even placed in residential neighborhoods, the only solution I see is to remove them. There are public toilets in areas where there is much traffic but in quiet neighborhoods? It doesn’t make sense.
The San Francisco Fire Department has enough to do without cleaning up after the poop predator. Seriously, this is not a joke. Here is a link to the story on ABC7 News - my favorite news station.
Oh yuck, that must smell horrible!! :p bleeaaahhh!! But yeah, I too wonder why there would be porta-pottys in residential areas - it would be understandable if there was a neighborhood fair going on or something, but to have things like that out there all the time? Why??
Could it be malicious mischief posing as a political statement?
Maybe the arsonist dislikes effluent society and is too weak to just knock them over.
lynne - lol!!! Thanks for stopping by.
Bernone - hmmm, could very well be given the area of the arsons.
Karyn Ann - ITs so good to see you here. It’s been a while. I hardly ever get to Myspace anymore.
I never even thought of that but you are right. I’m trying not to think of the eau de poop!!!
