The “golden toilet”, which is said to be equivalent to 1 million pounds (approximately 135 million yen) made of 18 gold, was stolen from Blenheim Palace, the former World Heritage site of Churchill, home of former Prime Minister Churchill. A 66-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident, but no toilet has been found.
According to the British BBC, before 5 am that day, someone entered the palace and stole the toilet that was fixed in the building. Because the piping was made, the surrounding area was flooded.
Blenheim Palace is a popular tourist attraction, and the toilet was a work of art exhibition by an Italian artist starting on the 12th. Named “America” and criticized for excess wealth. In 2017, when a museum in New York received a request from US President Trump “I want to borrow a Van Gogh picture to decorate the White House”, it was reported that instead of refusing it, it was proposed to lend this toilet. It was. (London = Kayoko Shimoji)
