A couple of thieves stole a public toilet in the Belarus city of Gomel with a man still locked inside.

The thieves reportedly loaded the portable toilet on the back of a tractor trailer, acting as if they were supposed to do that so passers-by wouldn't suspect anything and call the police.

The man inside was startled when he felt the portable toilet move. He was lifted in the air and next thing he knew he was being carried through town on the back of a tractor.

The 45-year-old was trapped inside because the thieves had put a rope around the toilet and he couldn't get out until the rope loosened because of the bumpy ride.

When he was finally able to open the door he jumped off the tractor and broke his collar-bone. He later reported the incident to the police who later tracked down the stolen toilet at a local resident's house.
