Solid Gold Toilet Stolen...
A solid gold toilet was stolen from Blenheim Palace. The artwork, valued at $6m (£4.8m), was stolen in a raid at the stately home in Woodstock, Oxfordshire on Saturday. Police are looking into it. The 18-carat gold toilet, entitled America, had been part ...

According to the Chief of Police, “it’s all a bit of a mess because security was caught short”
"How is your stools?" Harry and Paul. Next time I a take a poo I will also investigate the toilet and not the poo only

It was much easier stealing it when I had my crew.
Funny story, I wonder how many had to carry it!
