Torched Toilet Troubles Tinley
Say that three times fast. A portable toilet blaze on Aug. 20 left Tinley police without any clues.
Someone caused a big stink when a porta-pottie went up in flames in Arbor Park.
Tinley Park firefighters extinguished a flaming portable toilet inside the public park on Aug. 20, Tinley Park police said. The blaze was out by 11:45 a.m. but not before the damage was done.
Heat from the fire completely melted the plastic portable bathroom, which was found in the park located at Brookside Glen Drive and Newfield Lane, police said.
People who were nearby in the park reported seeing nothing out of the ordinary that day. Police were unable to find any evidence at the scene.
Cops contacted Drop Zone, the company that owns the toilet, to let them know a report was made.
The person who called in the fire could not be found.
