Police are on the hunt for an 18-carat gold toilet stolen overnight from Winston Churchill’s birthplace.

Officers were called to reports of a burglary at Blenheim palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, where the loo – valued at £1m - was on display as part of a contemporary art exhibition, just before 5am on on Saturday.
...
“The artwork has not been recovered at this time, but we are conducting a thorough investigation to find it and bring those responsible to justice.”
...
The burglary has left the palace with significant damage and flooding. The toilet, designed by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, had been plumbed in and was available for visitors to use.

Old joke has been prevented - "the police say they have nothing to go on".

A gang broke into the Oxfordshire palace at about 04:50 BST and stole the artwork, Thames Valley Police said.

The working toilet - entitled America, which visitors had been invited to use - has not been found but a 66-year-old man has been arrested.
...
The gold toilet was famously offered to US President Donald Trump in 2017.
