Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by Pure Evil on Mar 29, 2010 13:48:42 GMT 1, 
herakut
if I was god
mixed media on board in 2 pieces
1.5 x 3m
pure evil
avenging angel
stencil spray paint on glass door
1.5m x 2.5m
On February 5 2010 two paintings were bought from the gallery by somebody who used stolen credit cards. If you have information about these or if you see them , please contact the Shoreditch Police Station 020 7275 3210 quoting case number 4607626 / 10
They said they wanted them for a new club in London and picked them up in a van that was being used for a building project so if you are out and about and see a massive Herakut or walk through a glass Pure Evil door then get in touch... I would be very glad to offer an original artwork as a reward if anybody finds them or can give information leading to the return of these paintings...
Forum detectives : Get to work...

Very stupid to buy objects that are so unique and identifiable using stolen CCs...bound to get caught eventually.

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by Poppy Sunshine on Mar 29, 2010 20:16:48 GMT 1, Beautiful pieces.
No chance of them staying hidden for long.
Been considering getting a card machine in for my business and the fact that you can still get caught out with dodgy cards is what's holding me back.
Is there no way you can 100% protect yourself?
Good luck with the search.

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by jon11 on Mar 30, 2010 11:58:26 GMT 1, that Herakut is beautiful! - how much did they pay for it?
surely you authorised it over a pdq machine? - so you should get the money from the lender/bank if you did the transaction correctly?
just to throw something out there... isn't a good theft/scam a bit of an art form anyway? obviously some good planning went into this, well executed - got away with it - bit like laying up a nice street piece or bombing a high risk area - who suffers really? - 'the man' credit companies and the banks - and i'm thinking we dont have much sympathy for them
fucking sweet steal i say!
sorry pure evil - if you've suffered a personal loss on this - or the artists have - harsh for the scene - but hats off to a brazen art thief -
all this said - i will be putting the feelers out and keeping an ear out for any info linking to these two bits - can i have a deal on the herakut if i find it please!?!?

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by Pure Evil on Mar 30, 2010 12:39:47 GMT 1, I authorised it on a PDQ machine and got the authorisation codes but the bank/lender is doing a chargeback on the card . They said that because I did it over the phone I should have then cancelled all the transactions when the guy came in and re-charged the cards using a pin number. This was in the small print in the PDQ book . Because I didnt do this I am at fault apparently.
I was selling the Herakut for a collector and I have paid him 75% of the wall price already so im out of pocket on this.
BUMMER.
Thank bejeezus I am also doing my own art thing as well as running the gallery. I would imagine this kind of thing would totally slam a gallery who only relied on the sale of primary and secondary market artwork that they do not produce inhouse.

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by jon11 on Mar 30, 2010 12:46:55 GMT 1, can we start a campaign against these cheeky greedy banks and credit card scams - THEY should cover that shit - they dont provide full training and info with the machines - they just send them out and expect you to get on with it - stitch up - who's the bank and are you sure you're not covered?

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by rsj on Mar 30, 2010 14:21:24 GMT 1, Sorry to hear about the incident, and that the bank is denying all responsibilities. I doubt the two pieces would actually turn up at any London club or something, as the whole thing seems to be quite well-thought out. I am just surprised someone would make all the efforts to "steal" what aren't very expensive pieces of art (compared to some high-end contemporary art pieces). It must be specifically for someone who really likes Herakut and yours.
Did no one remember what the guy looks like, and no CCTV footage of the man and van (number plate) from nearby? Good luck with recovering them in any case. Hope the police discovered clues that would help.

Thieving Bastards : Art stolen Pure Evil Gallery, by Daniel Silk on Mar 30, 2010 14:36:44 GMT 1, Fingers crossed they track these people down. I would imagine we are taking about a pretty large sum of money  so lets hope the Police take this very seriously and put all their effort into catching them, and getting the pieces back to Pure Evil.
Lets all keep and eye out for them!

That's a good point!  the gallery is right on the Congestion Charge boarder  could that have a record of the number plate when it crossed the line outside the gallery?
