A heist, a Golf R, and a solid gold toilet--I couldn't make this up.

I'm still intrigued at how common these cars are stolen in the UK.


All wheel drive in a performance car is a hugely attractive feature in a place where there's water on the road so frequently. Also, hatchbacks have a lot more appeal than lumbering SUVs in the tight urban environs found throughout Europe (is it still permissible to include Great Britain in Europe?). That's part of the reason why Golf R's are relatively more ubiquitous over there than in the US. And being desirable to own also means desirable to sell.

The UK is leaving the EU not Europe! Europe is a continent.

They should use this as a selling point in the marketing. "If you're ever conducting a heist, you can fit a golden toilet in the hatch!"
