Thieves on the run after stealing gold toilet in England

A golden toilet was stolen from Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, the palace announced on Twitter.
The toilet, an art piece called America, was part of a collection by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan that was on display at Blenheim Palace.
The toilet was stolen from the palace by a group of people, according to a statement from Thames Valley Police. Although police have not yet recovered the toilet, they did arrest a 66-year-old man in connection with the heist.
While it is an art piece, the toilet is actually fully functioning and was hooked up to the palace’s plumbing facilities. When the thieves removed it, they caused flooding and significant damage, according to a statement by Detective Inspector Jess Milne obtained by CNN.
