“Five men had smashed their way into the palace, ripped out a £4.8m solid gold toilet and fled in a stolen Volkswagen Golf.
The working loo, entitled America, had been on display for just two days at the 18th Century stately home, plumbed in as part of an exhibition by the Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan. Now, more than five years on, a total of three men have been convicted in connection to the heist.” The inside story of Blenheim’s gold toilet heist.
