Thieves plague toilets Chinese park

chengdu - The management of a city park in the Chinese city of Chengdu sits with hands in her hair by the widespread theft of toilet paper. The park provides public toilet cubicles since the month of free loo roll, but it shows the newspaper Global Times to act as a magnet for thieves.

As an hour after the toilets were equipped with toilet rolls, thirty booths were stripped. After seven days, the count stood at 1,500 missing toilet paper rolls; considerably more than was previously provided. The park fears an unexpected loss of nearly 14 000 per year.

Therefore, management of the park breeds on measures to halt the plunder of toilets. It is envisaged to install special facial scanners, as previously done in Beijing. These devices ensure that restroom visitors get up to two feet of paper per nine minutes.

Such high-tech device moreover would not solve all the problems in Chengdu toilet. According to a member of the board are sometimes caught tourists partly dismantle toilets to resell the items.
