In a daring heist that shocked the art world, a unique 18-carat gold toilet worth millions was stolen from Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. The toilet, created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and titled 'America,' was a satirical commentary on wealth and excess.
The audacious raid took place in the early hours of September 14, 2019, when a group of men broke into the palace and swiftly removed the golden toilet. The piece, weighing over 200 pounds and insured for millions, was never recovered and is believed to have been dismantled and sold.
