Art thieves in the UK steal $5 million golden toilet. More here:

LONDON - Burglars have stolen a fully-functional 18-carat gold toilet from Britain’s Blenheim Palace, where it had been installed as an art exhibit, police said on Saturday.

The toilet, named “America”, was previously on display in a cubicle at New York’s Guggenheim Museum, where more than 100,000 visitors were able to use it. “Due to the toilet being plumbed in to the building, this has caused significant damage and flooding,” Detective Inspector Jess Milne added in a public statement.

africaupdates They were probably disappointed in the manner in which such a priceless metal was being used. They would probably voluntarily return it,should they vouched to use it wisely and jealously.

Expensive to recycle here.

The fact that someone built and sold a $5 million toilet is kind of gross.

This isn't news!

whyfund Check out Dump Tower! He has a special affinity to golden thrones!!

coldtusker The world goes round.

What's my toilet doing there?

serves them right, what the heck are the royals doing with a gold toilet? what a waste of tax payers money!! plus what is the purpose - your shit is still going to stink!

😁😁

Probably a Brazilian trying to take back our gold... So nice what you guys did with our gold...

That’s some expensive shit

africaupdates Toilet heist

Now where in God’s name can thieves conceal contraband like a gold toilet😳🙄🤪

More money then sense. When you do a number two does it come out as gold nuggets? Or is it going to the same sewer the commoners use?

The old switcheroo trick didn’t work!

StephenAtHome colbertlateshow Something for 'Meanwhile?' I mean seriously. You know they did it as much for the laugh as for the money.

Police now looking for suspects ? 🤣

V5M1000 😂😂 guess they wanted to try it out.

Ouuuuu, shit…..

Whatever shall the royals do to recover their throne?

Looks like the one Sadaam Hussein had in his palace.🤔

It's like looking down at the lost hole of the 1%.

Clue: It was the plumber in the bathroom with a pipe wrench.

Holy shit!

You mean the Gold the Brit stole from Africa?

I looked into the case but there was nothing to go on

Check Pawn Stars, It may be worth millions in some other countries, but in their shop it's worth 200.00 bucks.

‘Art thieves’ still at large. 😂

I would not buy this absurd toilet for 500 $ (gold excluded obviously)......

Please, tell us who the idiot was who put this thing in a bathroom. People in the world are starving, right? What is this arteest doing about that with all these millions. What's the art in a golden toilet? Does he think he is one of them oil sheiks?

So they left literally carrying an artefact that has seen and interacted with countless $!£...boy oh boy,

Hopefully, they will melt it down, sell it, and give it to the poor.

Found it...

It is a monument to human stupidity!

No shit!!

Did they sit and think it over first ... Haha

So far the Police have nothing to go on

...sad, lots of people are so poor, and yet there is a 5M toilet

Told you realDonaldTrump 's state visit was a bad idea.

I’m pretty sure the stole it for the gold. It certainly wasn’t art.

'Top News'

Hopefully the police will get some leads and be able to flush the criminals out.

that inflation - just last week it was worth $1.25M

If central banks start to ease further this week it could be worth a whole lot more.

Despite I don't support theft but it was ridiculous to built the golden toilet in the first place when millions are starving without food to eat. Where is the so-called humanity in this people going by this extravagances ?

May be this toilet just arrange it's own Brexit for himself?

Did they check the White House?

$5 Million Golden Toilet will be the title of Trump’s biopic.

The illogical part: Solid 18k gold toilet would be way to heavy for a single person to carry.

How can they not find this. Solid gold toilets dont grow on trees. I would think someone would notice it.

UK have a lot of money, they make another one,

That's good. You wonder why someone got a golden toilet like they pee money

Plot line for Snatch2?

Man the price went up with Oil? That thing was like 1.5Million 3 days ago

make a movie about this or else I don't even care
