Video Game Cards Clogging Toilet

Below are photos of a toilet that had to be removed to have video game cards extracted from it.

The cards were flushed down the toilet by a teenager because his parents had told him he was spending too much time with video games and he didn't want them to know he had continued to play the card based video games without their knowledge.

The right side bolt slot of the flange was in good shape and held the bolt nicely.

Extra wax was needed to make seal because older closet flange is wider than today's standard was rings.

Left side bolt slot of flange had been corroded along with toilet bolt. This made setting the toilet a little tricky, but we were able to get the toilet tighted with out the bolt popping out of it's slot.

To cap the toilet bolts with a decorative cap would involve cutting the bolt to a shorter length with a reciprocal saw. This could have pulled the bolt from the bad area of the flange on right, so the customer decided not to go with the bolt caps.
