Well, the answer is an Englishman who had such a “splendid” experience using it the day before that he was compelled to return later with friends and steal it. Of course, it helps that the toilet was made of solid 18-carat gold and was insured for more than $6 million.
The latrine in question was a fully functional one-of-a-kind work of art located at Blenheim Palace – the country mansion where Winston Churchill was born.
The authorities never found the toilet, and it is presumed to have been cut up or melted and sold. I, for one, hoped they melted it down if for no other reason than to sanitize the gold before selling it.
The toilet has an interesting American history because it had previously been on display at The Guggenheim in New York and was reportedly offered to President Trump during his first term in office.
