Title: The law of unintended consequences

From The Rock (https://www.therock.net.nz/home/funny-shit/2019/03/low-life-idiots-try-to-siphon-fuel--end-up-sucking-shit-from-sew.html) in New Zealand - a story from Australia

A group of low life thieves trying to siphon fuel have discovered there's more than one holding tank on a tour bus.

The unknown individuals spotted the bus parked up in Laverton, central West Australia, in the middle of the night. But when they tried to pinch some free fuel, they mistakenly put the hose in the sewage tank - coping a mouthful of raw shit in the process. HAH. Good job.

I'm all for the provision (for safe later disposal) of retention tanks on all public transport that has loos, but it's good to be reminded that every action may have unintended consequences ... in this case for the thieves of Laverton.

The article goes on to confirm

police have "zero interest in recovering the stolen goods."
