闯丘吉尔庄园偷走18K金马桶,英国4名男子将受审

Four men get into trouble. They stole an expensive golden toilet (黄金马桶) from a palace in England.

The toilet has a price of almost 6 million dollars. It is part of an art show in an old palace called Blenheim Palace. The men came to the palace early one day in the morning in 2019. They drove two cars. They put the toilet in one of them and drove away. The four men will go to court (法院) on November 28, 2023.

The special toilet is called America. It is still missing. Blenheim Palace, where Winston Churchill(温斯顿·丘吉尔) was born, was very sad when the toilet disappeared. It was part of an art show in a big museum in New York before.
