"An inflatable hot tub has been stolen from a garden in Stoke-on-Trent.
It was taken from Hamil Road in Burslem over the weekend.
Staffordshire Police said the theft would have taken some time, as the perpetrators had to take out a garden fence panel, drain and deflate the tub."
Two questions. Who in Burslem would bother to have a hot tub? And secondly what would someone in Burslem do with it once it was stolen?

Nicked to order. A 'hot' hot tub doing the rounds. Must have taken some planning.

Obviously removed as waste as people in Burslem don't bathe.

A thief with a hot tub might look conspicuous anywhere, but I can't help thinking that in that area they are going to attract a fair amount of bewildered interest.

Anticipate the Vale twitter feed to be asking for a hot tub installer to provide his/her services for free very soon.....

Plus I’d feel a right duck sitting in one, most stupid thing ever, that and a pizza oven in your garden, why??? |

Well I certainly wouldn't accept any invitations to go to a "crab boil" around there.

Anyone would think from this that Burslem is perhaps a high crime area or in some ways a dodgy place to live!  |

I always associate hot tubs with middle aged suburban swinger types. Even Argos sell cheap versions now.

I have this horrible image of a few of those dirty Vale bastards sitting amongst the bubbles simmering their bollocks as they scoop up and drink the floaters....🤢

Are we sure it wasn't just an outside bath, to go alongside the outside toilet.
