America

According to media reports, the working toilet was reported stolen from the Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. The museum is also the home where former prime minister Winston Churchill was born.       

The fully functional golden toilet, named "America," was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. It has been plumbed into the water system and visitors could fully engage with the artwork for three minutes.         

The theft created significant water damage to the museum.              

The toilet gained international recognition when it was installed in the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2016. A year later, it gained even more notoriety after the Trump administration emailed the Guggenheim and asked to borrow Vincent Van Gogh's 1888 painting "Landscape with Snow." The curator of the famed institution proposed the golden toilet as a counteroffer.

支那人は便器にこびりついた白い石のようなものを削って中華料理の調味料に使うそうなので、食いしん坊の支那人の仕業かと思いましたが、設置後二日目での盗難ということで、食糞目的かも知れません。
