Stealing showers as in - taking the shower heads off? Or actually going into somewhere without paying and stealing a shower - washing hair etc??
I have heard of people stealing shower heads, shower curtains, handwash, toilet paper, paper towels -how low can you be.

Good story & a good solution.
Funny thing ... It was only the other day that I was lounging in my squatter's chair contemplating my navel or whatever, when my mind turned to the problem of managing access to CP facilities and I came up with a notional scheme similar to this. Just before I dozed off for a nap.
Oh well I'll not make my fortune on this one ... Someone's thought of it too & got out of their recliner first ... Perhaps I should focus on something more mundane, like world poverty.

I can only shake my head in disbelief, on why someone would want to steal a second hand shower head
My home base has had one set of new shower heads, in over 20 years of living here
I was in Bunnings the other day, and I am sure that I saw shower heads at around the $20 mark
To use up fuel, to steal a second hand shower head, proves to me that the thieves are perhaps, a few bats short in their belfry

Just spent some time down at Nobby Beach Caravan Park in a flash cabin...both TV remotes had flat batteries as did the smoke alarm. Owner said rich or poor they all steal whether it's a poverty van or a gin palace.
Good Luck.

EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!! Who would steal a toilet brush!?!?!??!!!?!?
Certainly not this little black duck!
Nor would I bother with the toilet paper - usually "breakthrough" quality and often shiny and not at all absorbent!

To much information there.
I did here on the grape vine x 3. 1 forward. 1 backwards. 1 one to polish.
Cheers Jim

Have you noticed that in caravan parks, the hooks on the shower doors (and also the toilets) are often missing? I mentioned this to a caravan park owner once and he said that he was always putting up new hooks. Why would you steal a clothes hook?

They have always done that - which is why some shower blocks in CPs have keys or coded entry these days. Guthalungra(?) in QLD, the garage used to have a $3 get the key to the shower, backpackers one night paid for one key, then handed it on to at least 20 others - hence a pigsty and no hot water when a traveller paid for a key - totally unusable.
Next morning the manager from garage came over, pulled the dozens of power leads out from the inside of the toilet block - threw them out, locked the doors, went to all the backpackers and asked for $3 - told them to get out and never come back.
