... so all they have to do is request one of the two back and mark it D/N (duplicate number) and issue the PC COA to that effect ... they've done it a few times before .... It would seem so, but because there was so much sloppiness for years and now the stakes are so high, it is easier to sit on their hands now at a possible legit owners expense rather than potentially legitimize a fake/questionable circumstances print, now that theyโve established whatever full legal entity/name/staffing they will go with going forward. Less headaches for them to say that was the past and a different entity and be stricter going forward. |

Have pc actually said they aren't going to issue a COA? Going by the info here which is only side of the story, normal practice would be a COA will be issued if as said its proven the work is legit and hasn't been stolen. It seems open and shut a COA will be issued? Have they asked for it to be sent in to be examined?

They might ask, they may need to examine it, if they ask and it isn't sent in it won't get a COA. If its legit it will get a COA. Not suggesting it isn't.

I assume they contacted the police because that Ed no. was reported stolen. There seems to be a duplicate number. The other one being stolen. They may not be engaging because youve been very public both here and going to a newspaper which imo wasn't the in the best interest of your parents although I'm certain you felt it was, personally I would've waited until I had the Coa beforehand. Their communication can certainly be eractic due to volume of emails and being understaffed, I completely understand the frustration especially if you're not custom to dealing with them. Not your fault. I'm not surprised they weren't chatty with the journalist, why would they be. This direction taken obviously hasn't sped things up, if the evidence is all there it will absolutely get a COA, no reason to believe otherwise.
Personally I don't think you're being unreasonable at all to expect communication, that seems to be the fuel to the fire but prob best to stop public frustration outcry as its not getting you anywhere. Send an email once a week, ask for an update on the Coa and if there's anything you can do to speed up the process. No doubt you've meant well.

How was the Stolen print authenticated ? It wasn't but they apparantly had proof of purchase from santa's ghetto in 2004. I think if it was stolen and I don't believe it was then it would have surfaced by now. Burglar probably chucked it. |

Two factors are that POW were selling the prints years before they decided to set up an owners register for individual prints. (I wonder if they kept complete records of sales from day one that exist today?)
If it is true that POW have sold ltd edition prints containing duplicate numbers on more than one occasion and an employee of POW or ex employee attended court and confirmed that, then you could have a case against Pest Control and against the police for harassment etc, as it's not up to you to prove you bought the print legit (as in you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence), it's up to the accuser/s to prove that you stole it.

Let them make duplicates they'll never be as real as mine. I think we should all make some It's all very odd. If it came to a court case, who would Pest Control have sent to give evidence and also would the person who said it was stolen have attended court too? Two factors are that POW were selling the prints years before they decided to set up an owners register for individual prints. (I wonder if they kept complete records of sales from day one that exist today?) If it is true that POW have sold ltd edition prints containing duplicate numbers on more than one occasion and an employee of POW or ex employee attended court and confirmed that, then you could have a case against Pest Control and against the police for harassment etc, as it's not up to you to prove you bought the print legit (as in you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence), it's up to the accuser/s to prove that you stole it. 
Well if most users on here hadn't been such mistrusting incels (joke) then I wouldn't have had to have shared so much. Let them make duplicates they'll never be as real as mine.

Hi mate.. Case is all closed now but yes I'm betting we're not on an owners register. I'm beginning to think it should go to court.. Even a gallery owner friend thought we were already suing pest control for access to their records.. He asks for the photos of the cardboard tube etc and said he would show to banksy.. So far.. Brick walls all round |

poss scam involving Banksy print/Pest control, by withnail69 on Sept 30, 2020 17:24:48 GMT 1, Hi guys.. Hoping you can help.. Was thinking about this last night.. The police said the party didn't have a COA but did have Proof of purchase (from the pop up winter wonderland shop that xmas).. I'm guessing that could have been in many forms.. Bank statement.. Receipt for the shop etc but I'm guessing that none of these would have had an edition number on it.. So if this was an insurance scam like I thought it was.. What if they just made up an edition number for the insurance just thinking they would get a pay out and it just so happened to be the same as ours.. What I'm asking is..Do you think people purchasing from winter wonderland event would have come away with something (other than the actual print) that said what edition number the print was? Bear in mind this was 2004/5 I can't remember off the top of my head what year the pop up was as I didn't go but I think it was Oxford Street.. Any help appreciated. Thanks
