A solid gold toilet valued at 4.8 million pounds was stolen from Blenheim Palace 
in 2019. The incident took place after a private party, when the criminals broke into the premises and ripped out the 18-carat art piece.
Two men from Oxford were ultimately convicted for the theft. 
James Sheen and Michael Jones were sentenced in 2024, after a long forensic and digital investigation. Sheen pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years in prison, while Jones received a sentence of two years and three months.
Sheen has been in prison since 2020, serving another previous sentence. His criminal record includes fraud and thefts, totaling over 5 million pounds. The gold was partially sold in Birmingham for £520,000, but much of it remains missing. The case revealed how the thieves used Romani and Cockney rhyming slang to hide their misdeeds. The case remains open and the justice system is still searching for other parties involved.
Two men are jailed for stealing gold toilet valured at £4.8 million.
