According to the BBC, a "gang" must have broken into Blenheim Palace, better known as Churchill's Palace, sometime during Saturday morning local time. There they broke off the functioning toilet, which visitors could use to meet their needs, which caused great devastation and flooding.

The toilet, which is a work of art called "America" ​​created by artist Maurizio Cattelan, is thus in solid gold. "America" ​​has been part of an exhibition at Blenheim Palace and in conjunction with the inauguration a month ago, Winston Churchill's grandson Edward Spencer-Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, speculated on whether any thieving individual would want to put his gloves on it:

"It won't be the easiest to twist," he said.

66 year old man arrested

Visitors to Blenheim Palace have been encouraged to pee and poop in the toilet, but it has to be quick as each visitor had a 3 minute time limit to avoid queues.

The police are currently conducting a thorough investigation and a 66-year-old man should have already been arrested. However, the gold toilet has disappeared without a trace.

"We are saddened by this extraordinary event, but also made it easier for no one to be injured," Dominic Hare, manager at Blenheim Palace, told the BBC.

"America" ​​is reported to be worth millions.
