I can't tell you how much I loathe toilet paper.Good enough, @Aunt Marg. Barring that, less than $100 can get you a biffy to solve the issues.
Have always felt that it doesn't get the job done like it should.
Appreciate you posting the link, Devi!

I've seen an ad for a small, long-handled brush which reaches the parts other brushes don't (with soft bristles, I trust!)Okay, here's how we deal with the toilet paper situation so that it's not such an issue (if it's an issue at all):
We have a "Biffy" bidet arm (not a separate bidet bowl) that attaches to the side of the toilet. It swings in and out to spray water on one's "parts". That means we mainly just sop up instead of, well, smearing. And thus less toilet paper usage. WAY less.
The Biffy can be purchased at Amazon.com (sorry for the long link):

One large-ish package lasts quite a long time.
Boy, would the bristles ever have to be soft.

You know if you wanted to be a really nasty person you could play a very nasty trick on toilet paper thieves. Think about it!!

Well, yes, although a water warmer attachment is available.

"Shooting someone running away will land you in prison." Apparently, not if you're a cop (or at least most of the time...not).

I think it's good of you to warn us that this type of thing is going on. I peruse news from different sources usually daily...but hadn't heard of this. I don't have a car anymore but like @Pepper the one time I had to buy TP at the local supermarket and walk home, I hoped nobody would be desperate enough to mug me for it. I had a large cloth grocery bag plus tried to camouflage it as best I could.

Same in this part of the US, @Rosemarie. It's baffling. Toilet paper, I can understand, but it's easy to substitute washable dish cloths and hand towels for kitchen rolls/paper towels.

... Damp is different than dealing with smearing. But to each his own.

People are going crazy these days. I have a Bidet and I LOVE it. No worrying about toilet paper thieves for me. Crazy world today.
Having raised my children in cloth diapers, I relied on traditional 100% cotton baby washcloths to clean their bottoms at changing time (no disposable baby wipes in our house), and when baby was clean and re-diapered, washcloths along with the soiled diapers were taken to the bathroom, rinsed/dunked in the toilet, then tossed into the plastic diaper pail.
My mom relied on the same system when raising me and my siblings, and the same system was alive and well back in my babysitting days. Cloth diapers along with 100% cotton baby washcloths went hand-in-hand. If you used one, you used the other.

Same question I had Win. You still need to dry your butt before getting dressed and going anywhere. My husband used to use a homemade bidet (bottle with nipple spout) and it worked fine for him but when I tried using it, it just wet the seat and floor.
& @Sassycakes are you saying you don't need to use TP at all or just much less of it?

I use toilet paper also, but the bidet seems much better and feels really good. It's almost like soaking your butt in a tub.
I recently got a portable one - not because it saves paper, because it's cleaner. And, since you fill it up, it allows use of warm water, which prevents me from making that scary noise when cold water touches me.
Anywhere!
This must be a site specific issue................. although I notice the original post article was from last March..... in my area we were out or limited for part of March and April but have not had an issue since......
As for those who bought a ton to resale at jacked up rates ..... if they found someone was willing to buy it then they were just making money.
What i find bizarre and not if it is only here but many whose job was cut back or eliminated ....some are still trying to wait it out instead of perhaps finding a new job just looked in on Indeed there are over 3500 jobs listed in this city in all pay ranges .... why are there so many openings .... again maybe just this area.
Most stores around here Still have signs up saying if you went overboard hoarding items related to this they are NOT returnable ......
