The engaged/vacant indicator on our office toilet door (which features the actual words “engaged” and “vacant”) was mysteriously broken the other day. The man who came this morning to replace it with a simple red/white sign told us that there’s a spate of these worded indicators being unscrewed and stolen.

Anyone know why that might be? Is it like the brief 80s craze for stealing and wearing VW badges? And is it just on the parliamentary estate, or has there been an outbreak of engaged-sign stealing at your workplace, college or other daytime location? Anyone?

Perhaps it is the same VW people, there was a spate of nicking the little hammers that dangle under Smash This Glass alarm panels, maybe the vacant/engaged thefts are phase 3?

Are they collecting components for an underground international version of The Great Egg Race? In which case, what could they possibly be building?

I'm sorry. I just had to use this icon. I have absolutely nothing of value to add.
