No sign of £4.8m golden toilet stolen from Blenheim Palace, two years on

An 18-carat gold toilet is still missing and no-one has been charged with its theft two years after it was stolen.

The working toilet - entitled America - was taken from an art exhibition at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, in the early hours of 14 September 2019.

At the time it was valued at $6m (£4.8m) and a reward of up to £100,000 was offered by insurers.

Seven people were arrested but never charged over the theft.

A gang broke into the 18th Century stately home and caused "significant damage and flooding" because the toilet was plumbed into the building.

It had been owned by a private individual and was part of an exhibition by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan for two days before it was stolen.

Insurance firm Fine Art Specie Adjusters (FASA) said the reward, for safe return of the property leading to an arrest, still stood.

Director Philip Austin said: "No-one has come forward for the reward money yet... Initially there were lots of inquiries but now it's all gone quiet."

Thames Valley Police said all those arrested had been released while inquiries continued and no charges had been made.

A Blenheim Palace spokeswoman said it was unable to comment due to the ongoing police investigation.

Art detective Charley Hill told the BBC in November 2019 he thought the toilet would have been cut up, melted down and the gold sold off.

Mr Hill previously helped solve the 1994 theft of an 1893 version of Edvard Munch's The Scream from an Oslo museum.
