4 men charged in theft of satirical golden toilet titled 'America,' at Churchill's birthplace

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.

Seven people had been arrested over the heist, but no charges have been brought until Monday, four years after the toilet was stolen. The artwork has never been found.

The golden toilet was fully functioning, and prior to the theft, visitors to the exhibition could book a three-minute appointment to use it. Police said that because the toilet had been connected to the palace’s plumbing system, its removal caused “significant damage and flooding” to the 18th-century building, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture that draws thousands of visitors each year.

So, it took them four years to finally charge someone with the theft, and the golden toilet still hasn't been recovered.

“Will we ever see that toilet again? Personally I wonder if it’s in the shape of a toilet to be perfectly honest,” police and crime commissioner Matthew Barber told the BBC. “If you have that large amount of gold I think it seems likely that someone has already managed to dispose of it one way or another.”

The toilet was called "America."

Funeral home owner and wife arrested after remains of at least 189 people are found at facility

The company, which was started in 2017 and offered cremations and “green” burials without embalming fluids, kept doing business even as its financial and legal problems mounted in recent years.

These kinds of stories always floor me. I worked for a funeral home many years ago, and I recall one of the funeral directors who was caught embezzling from the company, fired, and brought up on charges. He was also accused by many of the women as a sexual harasser. He was a complete sleazeball, but I can't imagine even him doing something like this. It takes a certain special kind to pile up rotting human remains like that.

No actually I should not be over it, wish I was, but it is still there, just slowly going away. so I have to be careful to nit relapse, I have been dealing with this for 3 years, they just diagnosed it a few months ago, prior to this I was dealing with Acid Reflux and had no idea why I was getting the gastric attacks. I was just thinking I kept picking up stomach bugs.

Gastritis can take a while to get over

When it happened to me I'd mix a teaspoon of salt in warm water in a glass and breath/suck it up my nose then breath it out (no too deep, don't let the water go past your throat) .

I believe a neti pot is easier but i dont do easy ;-)
