Toilet flush valves went missing from the men's restroom at Dunedin Public Library on Wednesday, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reports.

Cleaning service staff alerted a library employee of three toilet valves they noticed to be missing from stalls inside the men's restroom around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. 

The Sloan parts control water flow into the toilet, and are located on the outside of most commercial grade toilets, including the ones at the library. They can be removed with as little as three common tools and cost the city about $75 each to replace.
