STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by Deleted on Jul 9, 2014 20:07:28 GMT 1, How can they not convict themโฆ? BONKERS.
I hope we all find out who you are so others aren't robbed by this/these scumbags.
Really feel for you and your family, what a detestable thing to happen as a result of this forum.
CCTV was put on youtube by my local police to help track a guy that attacked a good friend of mine. I would suggest putting the video out there, perhaps members here could help to help identify the guyโฆ even if you know exactly who it is?!
Retribution and karma are comingโฆ.

Its a shame you cant name but they'll get their own soon enough. Sorry fella I'd just name them... Perhaps they've been informed not to, but you'd really like to know if you've shared your address with or had a home visit from this person.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by Warm Gun on Jul 9, 2014 20:45:53 GMT 1, I'm not in the slightest bit surprised there were no charges. My neighbour was burgled a few months ago, he caught the scumbags faces on cctv, along with their car and reg....nothing came of it.
A colleague of mine was assaulted in a shop three days ago, that too was caught on cctv, she even named the perpetrator and told them where they live......and nothing came of it.
A friend of mine was burgled last year, the guy who done it, obviously a moron, left a wallet with some ID at the victims house......nothing came of it.
You can pretty much rob and assault any poor fooker these days and you'll get away with it....the police are far too busy doing nowt.
Get out there and cause chaos.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by spaceshrew on Jul 19, 2017 13:15:38 GMT 1, A few of you might remember, a few years ago my house was broken into, targeted specifically for my 'Stop and Search' after a visit from a certain someone, you know who you are.
I just wanted to put this back on the radar incase anyone comes across it, I'm aware the framing and numbering could have been changed (71/500) but high unlikely the signature has, these are all quite different when you've studied as many as I have, you'll know this.
Here's a few pictures of the actually stolen print, thanks again for you time.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by spaceshrew on Jul 19, 2017 13:50:52 GMT 1, Hi Biggie, yes I believe so, and so did the Police suspect the break in was organised by someone on this forum who visited my house.
I apologies but without concrete facts it wouldn't be ethical to name anyone, I hope you understand mate.
But I would urge all of you to be careful who you show your collections too, I haven't seen any of my Banksy prints since the break they're all in safe storage, my wife and kids are actually scared to have them in the house now, which is extremely sad.

Great restraint on your part. I would name and shame.
Sorry, you're dealing with this. Super shitty

I remember this happening t the time. Just awful. And such a shame that you can't now enjoy your art. I take it that no one was ever successfully prosecuted?

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by Viking Surfer on Jul 19, 2017 16:13:13 GMT 1, F**k this is terrible.
As someone who has visited a lot of collectors homes and had many visit mine this is quite worrying. Some of the greatest experiences I've ever had collecting art has been spending an afternoon with someone who shares the same passion as myself and appreciating their pride and joy.
I guess if somebody is meeting up with someone for the very first time, especially if they are unknown to the community, it is worth asking for a passport scan or driving license / recent proof of address before you meet. This proves you can never be too careful.
Really sorry you experienced this and I do hope it gets resolved soon.
Please name and shame the member you met with too, although perhaps the police advised not to?

Shaming them would do nothing other than give them notorious notoriety. I say call up some friends you dont normally call and pay them a visit. but remember any and all advice given offered or even thought of on an open forum is visible to all.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by Poly Mindset on Jul 19, 2017 17:54:58 GMT 1, This is just sad and I'm sorry for you and your situation. I hate the fact that we live in a society where we can't trust everyone and I hope they catch the rat bastards that took your art. I know hind sight is 20/20 but to all members here on the forum, alarms, video surveillance, and dogs are all good things to have if you are going to have nice art at your residence. Take a moment and just pass on one purchase of a nice piece and invest in some security. Although insurance may or may not cover your loss, the fact is some pieces are very hard to replace and it's all just a depressing pain in the ass. Some security measures again, may or may not prevent the loss of your belongings but there is a higher probability that it will deter thieves and if not, at least you will have a better chance of catching them (hopefully your video will do just that). Even if you don't have expensive things a small investment in some security can help the feeling of being violated. I wish you the best of luck and hope your art is found and returned to you undamaged.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by gravity1 on Jul 19, 2017 18:16:15 GMT 1, A bit surprising that a person with even the slightest B knowledge would even bother targeting a piece since it is common knowledge they are basically worthless without the coa ( unless the coa was taken as well, which I don't think you mentioned). Almost as if it was someone with no art knowledge whatsoever or a deliberate vindictive act just to cause the the owner grief.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by spaceshrew on Jul 19, 2017 19:18:41 GMT 1, The theft was filmed on my neighbours CCTV camera, you can clearly see the picture being loaded into van in 52 seconds flat. They ignored other much more expensive Banksy prints hanging at the time, cash i-pads, this was a very focused break in. I might see If I can upload it.
The COA I still have by the way. But that doesn't mean the person had no knowledge of the market, maybe a buyer waiting or my other theory...
Which is the person had the same print, changed the number on mine to match there COA, sold on, everything would look normal and check out, only there's two prints with the same number, apply for a new second PC.
I guess the way of checking my theory, have PC ever issued two COA's for the same S&S?
On a positive note Brownhills insurance were fantastic, I can't recommend them enough, and I talk from first hand experience of having to claim.
Be safe people and thanks for all your supportive messages.
