It was not your typical smash-and-grab burglary and the booty was precious: a toilet worth more than its weight in gold. 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...

An off-grid upstate New York sanctuary built over two decades by the installation artist Matt Bua was put on the market this month, Gothamist and Artnet reported. For just $269,000, buyers can obtain nearly 27 acres of woodlands dressed with more than 30 DIY structures made of upcycled scrap materials. Located in a hollow near the town of Catskill, the sculpture park is an amalgamation of creations made by Bua and friends. The repurposed city consists of bizarre, fairy-tale-like structures, including a tower lined with LP shingles, a bear made out of weaved barbed wire, a tudor-style church and a bunker made out of dirt-filled bags.

So we’re hoping that somebody knows something, and they’ll call us and give us some tips,” she said. Police are also following up with any possible witnesses and looking into surveillance footage that could help them identify the perpetrator as they race to solve the...

This tiny house might be rather narrow, but it packs in a lot more than you’d think. At it’s tightest point, this cottage in Cornwall measures just 3ft, or 91cm wide. It’s squeezed between two existing semi-detached homes, in the seaside town of Porthleven, the most southerly port in the UK. At £235,000, it might seem like a hefty price tag for such a tiny home, but according to Rightmove, the overall average price of a property in the area is actually £367,842, so you could be bagging yourself a bargain. The home is actually shaped like an iron – so is wider towards the rear – and features everything one person might need in a new...
