Dec. 20 (UPI) -- A creative crook snuck into Charlie Villanueva's Texas home on Tuesday and stole his toilet.

The 6-foot-11 former Dallas Mavericks power forward played in the NBA from 2005 to 2015. He made more than $50 million in salary on the court during his NBA tenure for the Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons and Mavericks.

"[Expletive] my home in Dallas was just burglarized, called the cops and still waiting on @DallasPD to make a report," Villanueva tweeted Tuesday night. "FYI it's been 2hrs since I called."

"They stole my toilet," Villanueva tweeted. "I'm not making this [expletive] up. Still waiting @DallasPD."

"Appliances all gone, like are you serious? This is mind blowing @DallasPD," he added.

"I'm still tripping, who steals a toilet? Like why a toilet, 1 toilet @DallasPD still not at my house."

"I called @DallasPD at 6:50pm it's 10:41pm and no response from them, called 4 times already #findmytoliet."

"I'm still in shock of the things they stole, but the one that stand out the most is a toilet...Bro a toilet, can't get my mind off that. A toilet...Wow."

The 33-year-old's #findmytoilet hashtag has taken Twitter by storm. Many users have offered suggestions on how to locate the toilet vandals. Another users pointed out that the city of Dallas has a toilet program.

The program lets users apply to receive up to two toilets. A rebate option is also available for up to $90 per toilet. Customers of City of Dallas Water Utilities and customers who have toilets that were installed before 1994 qualify for the program.
