BRITISH POLICE TODAY made a second arrest in their hunt for thieves who stole a functioning 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Designed by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and once offered on loan to US President Donald Trump, the toilet was stolen on Saturday — just three days after it had been put on display.
It has been valued at around $5 to $6 million (€4.5-€5.5 million) and been a hit with tourists, who lined up to snap selfies of them sitting on its golden seat.
Police in Oxford, the historic city on whose outskirts the palatial palace was built in the early 1700s, announced the arrest of a 36-year-old man who was then released pending an investigation.
“We are continuing to investigate this incident and have made a second arrest in connection with it,” investigative officer Steven Jones said in a statement.
“Our priority is to locate the stolen item.”
The police have also arrested and released on bail a 66-year-old man suspected of being part of the gang.
Cattelan told The New York Times that his work, called “America,” was “one-percent art for the 99%.

Fake news from the Journal..
@Derek Reilly: Very good
@Derek Reilly: two days is a lot for people like me working in tax trying to get everything done!
@Sam Harms: Maybe read the article properly next time. Glad you don’t do my tax return.
So if the storm didn’t get ya the revenue will, death and taxes…
Ah isn’t the government very good for allowing this such nice people
@James2015: It’s not the Gov. It’s Revenue. They are independent.
Self employed, you worked hard for what you’ve achieved, go tell the revenue and gov to F off, find some other way to pay yer own debt.
@Adrian:
You go ahead there and see how that works out for you
and will you back me up, or will you disappear, just like everybody else!
@Adrian: Ah here, I’m self-employed, yes we create our own work but the police, defence forces, teachers, health system all still needs to be paid.
@Karen Doyle: I’ve no problem whatsoever with all you’ve mentioned getting paid. It’s our money going to lousy bankers and our incompetent very generously overpaid, but hugely underqualified politicians is what I have a problem with! We’re paying them for quadrupling our national debt and making us pay for it!
@Adrian:
So if you, let’s say ran for election on such a proposal and you weren’t elected it would be everyone else’s fault not yours?
2 days extra for filing than usual for online users not 2 weeks. Article needs to be corrected. Wakee wakee journalists!
