LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Four men have been charged over the theft of an 18-carat golden toilet from a palace in southern England, where it was kept as an art exhibit before being stolen in an early morning heist in 2019, prosecutors said on Monday.

The fully functioning toilet, valued at 4.8 million pounds ($5.9 million), was part of an exhibition by an Italian conceptual artist at Blenheim Palace, which is a major tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I didn't watch the video above so not sure what that dude is doing down on his knees looking into the toilet. Does he have to inspect the royals poop every time they go? Thats a shitty job.
