Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by Fragile on Nov 10, 2009 14:08:50 GMT 1, Love it, the humor is very much Mr B style!
totally agree. It just wasn't 100% right for me. Apparently it's been there nearly a week, hiding behind those cardboard boxes (I was reliably informed by the shop keeper).

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by Fragile on Nov 10, 2009 14:21:02 GMT 1, Image and placement 100% banksy.
Execution - you know sometimes it just doesn't feel right, well I was getting that vibe. I am high on tamiflu though so who knows.
Great piece though, love it.

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by junta on Nov 10, 2009 15:28:41 GMT 1, seems placed a bit low-profile (from the few pics so far) but it's a great little piece. leaning towards it not being mr.B so far but I'd be happy to be wrong. Fair play whoever it was.. made me chuckle

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by adewilliams on Nov 10, 2009 17:24:23 GMT 1, I can sympathise with the boy in the picture - don't get us started on those private clamping companies. As for Banksy? My guess is not

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by lee3 on Nov 10, 2009 19:14:15 GMT 1, I like it a lot and my guess is it's him. Our governments have gambled the future of our children and are now doing everything in their taxing power to stay alive and reaching farther than they ever have in our lifetimes. The piece says a lot to me in its simple humor and even if it is someone trying to look like Banksy by putting it near the phone booths etc., they did a wonderful job. Plus those feet resemble horses hooves so it has to be him.

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by Grafter on Nov 10, 2009 19:31:12 GMT 1, Looks a bit like a piece done by another artist hoping it would be mistaken for a Banksy, so they can then come along later and say it was done by them Could be wrong, but lets wait and see 
Interesting theory...
Care to hazard a guess..?

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by They call me Stephen on Nov 10, 2009 19:57:15 GMT 1, would be suprised if this was a banksy, it looks more in line with other stencil artists work (mantis, eelus, dolk etc etc)
stranger things have happened i guess but would be suprised if this was, it doesn't seem to have the depth, warmth or technical quality that recent banksy street pieces have had

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by raiden on Nov 10, 2009 20:20:12 GMT 1, On first glance, looks like it could be Banksy. Definitely his type of subject matter.
To address other theories...
Was Dolk in the area??? I don't think he's a likely candidate.
Most other's would also claim authorship with a tag next to it. (The overspray and hard blacks look a bit like Hutch, but he would probably include Hutch next to it and this doesn't feel like it comes from his most recent vein of works)
But looking closer, there is a lot of overspray for Bansky and the lines are very hard, when he's been texturing a lot lately - though less on pieces closer to the ground. (its a pain hunching over to get those effects as well low to the ground - note that his lines get more solid closer to the ground) Banksy typically gets sloppier close to the ground - either relying on stencil and not texturing or over spraying.
Plus, one other clue, the hands are bad. Banksy always sucked at hands. (That's a give away its not Mantis or other artists who can paint hands)
I'm going to go on a limb and say its a sloppily composed Banksy - possibly a rush job. 90% sure.
Though Silky's theory is causes some doubt in my mind.
