    From The Associated Press:

    Four men have been charged over the theft of an 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born.

    The toilet, valued at 4.8 million pounds ($5.95 million), was the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan.

    The toilet has not been recovered.

    To make more of an artist's statement the artist should have provided toilet paper made of $100 bills.
