BERLIN (AP) — The portable toilets kept on disappearing — and now a German company knows why.

Two men, ages 40 and 20, were given six-year jail terms for stealing more than 100 portable toilets.

Both men worked for a waste disposal company from whose premises the toilets — worth nearly $80,000 — gradually disappeared, a loss that was only discovered a few months later.

The men admitted having sold the toilets to a company in the Netherlands via a go-between.

Only three of the missing toilets have resurfaced. The defendants lost their jobs.
