Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by joeschmo on Feb 19, 2011 3:53:52 GMT 1, Looks like someone did call it into the police while the Charlie Brown piece was being removed. It sounds like the guys taking it down claimed they owned the building:
So retarded how everyone gets so worked up over a crap piece because of its value, its a jealousy thing isn't it?

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by Wearology on Feb 19, 2011 5:07:41 GMT 1, I wonder if Banksy got arrested when he was in the middle of spray painting the girl with the sledge hammer. The piece does not look completed and he hasn't done anything since. I guess let's see what happens over the next 10 days.

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by naughtyshorty on Feb 19, 2011 8:46:17 GMT 1, someone has bought themselves a very poor copy.... and someone has just made themselves $8k through clever deception..
as for the dodgy paste up girl, and a poss arrest, i think ur reading too much into an average piece of art that just so happened to go up the same day as banksy's...

the real question is: why do you think that's the real "charlie brun" that was removed? 
I should probably start an auction with the photo of the guys removing the banksy billboard with a description like "big billboard poster decorated with spray paint" and let's see how many billions I will make...

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by sal on Feb 19, 2011 11:09:53 GMT 1, well, you could do that.. you can also put a photo of a Porsche and sell shopping trolley, but Im guessing any buyer will wanna see a photo evidence of an actual piece they're buying.. so I was just wondering if you saw the photo of an actual thing they were selling...
I know it's possible this a fuck up, but Im thinking it's also possible that whoever cut it off, just wanted to get it off their hands quickly and make few bucks on it...
I dont have a point here or trying to prove anything, Im just curious..

ITS A WHEATE PASTE, its not a stencil and also not a Banksy. Really not sure how many times that needs to be posted before people take notice. Can you honestly not see the wet glue marks on the wall ?

I contacted the seller asking for pics and info right after the link of the auction was posted here... I'm still waiting for a reply.

Sure it's not great but I'd rather see this than it being chiseled off by some greedy feckers.

I agree, being dogged or buffed used to be the natural end of a piece (and IMO it should still be, although I would much rather it stayed for ever, but this is just not going to happen in this greedy, selfish and beurocratic world), although this looks just like mindless vandalism and a pity after such a short time. But rather this than putting money into the pockets of those who just don't appreciate it for what it is and don't deserve anything from it.
