Update: Went home for lunch @ 11 am, Bandit had peed in his crate, gee, what a surprise. He was only in it for 2 hours, for crying outloud. Anyway, took him out for 20 minutes, nothing, came in put him in the X-pen, went in the kitchen, got a cup of coffee (we're talking 30 seconds), came back, he had pooed in the X-pen. I cleaned it up, with Nature's Miracle, went to throw away soiled paper towels(15 seconds, if that) came back he had peed in the X-pen!
I'm thinking when I get home at 3 pm today of carrying him around in my arms, or get a carrier strapped to my chest, for the rest of the day & night to try & break this cycle he's in, what do you thinK?
