18th toilet torched in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- San Francisco authorities said a construction site's portable toilet was torched early Thursday, marking the 18th such arson attack in two months.
Fire Department Lt. Mindy Talmadge said the construction site toilet at Washington and Taylor streets on Nob Hill became the 18th portable toilet in the area to be set afire during the past two months when it was ignited at about 4 a.m. Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Talmadge said the 18 arson fires have caused an estimated $45,000 in damage.
One construction foreman in the city said he has been protecting his site's toilet by disguising it as a storage shed with dark plywood and a brown blanket.
