The toilet is a work of art valued at 1 million pounds ($1.25 million).
The golden toilet is the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan that was part of an art installation that had been installed a few days before the theft.
The artist intended the golden toilet to be a pointed satire about excessive wealth.
