Finally, Life Returns To Normal In Colorado Springs

The stolen toilet soapbox racer has been found. Phew! Everyone can get back to their lives.

It was just a routine patrol until a King County sheriff's deputy lifted a tarp and found a soapbox derby racer built to look like a giant toilet. A giant, stolen toilet - measuring about 7 feet high and 7 feet long.

The massive commode - white with a blue velour seat and tank cover and a red flush handle - was found Wednesday in a rural area of southeast King County.

Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said the toilet facsimile was built by five friends in Colorado Springs, Colo., and was brought to Seattle late last month for a race. It was stolen out of the back of a truck, which was also stolen.

Colorado Springs, huh? Think they weren't worried about the toilet racer? Keep in mind this is the same place that banned playing tag on the playgrounds of their schools.

And hey, that car would be perfect for the guy who lives in the toilet house!
