The island of Lihou is located just off the west coast of Guernsey, with only one habitable structure remaining there — a single house. Operated by the Lihou Charitable Trust, the home can only be accessed via a rocky passage while the tide is low for two weeks each month.

The one-of-a-kind 18-carat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born, in the predawn hours of Sept. 14, 2019, a prosecutor told jurors Monday. Attorney Julian Christopher said in his opening statement in Oxford Crown Court that it was an “audacious raid.” One of three men on trial in the case of the purloined potty was involved in stealing it and the other two helped to sell the spoils. The toilet has never been recovered but is believed...
