Outhouse Door at Iowa Park Stolen
ACKLEY, Iowa - The outhouse door is missing at a city park, and officials want it back.
Richard Swasand, a volunteer at Prairie Bridges Park, said someone probably took it overnight on Nov. 12 while the group was collecting an award from North Iowa Area Development park improvement program for its unique bathroom and other improvements.
"While we were getting the award, they were stealing the door," Swasand said.
Swasand said the door is special because it was painted to look like a barn door with the words "Outhouse" and a sliver of a moon added to it.
"It was unusual and it was functional," Swasand said.
The thief broke the handle off the steel door and then unscrewed the door from its hinges.
Replacing the door would cost anywhere from $300 to $500, Swasand said.
