The mystery of one of Britain’s weirdest art heists begins at an exhibition party at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, in September 2019.

A £5 million solid gold toilet, created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, is centre-piece at the exhibition. Hours after partygoers leave it is stolen by a masked gang.

The events are a shock for the palace staff who witness the heist and its aftermath, including guest services manager Eleanor Paice and Chief Executive Dominic Hare.
