BANKSY'S STOLEN, by bojangles on May 1, 2010 12:12:42 GMT 1, Hi all,
A brief message to warn people that there are two stolen signed banksy prints in possible circulation.
1: a Nola (Grey Rain) from the edition of 63
2: a Happy Choppers from the edition of 150
both are signed and both are framed. If anyone is offered these for sale or thinks they have any info please send me a message straight away. Naturally the police are conducting an investigation.
Thank you in advance for any help

i dont want to release any details publically just in case. The grey rain nola was a rare one for sure. i haven't seen it come up for sale very much, neither a signed happy choppers to be honest, but the fact they are framed (happy choppers in a white frame and the nola in a dark frame with white mount) hopefully would make it easier to spot.
Also neither of them had their POW certificates taken, which will make them easier to spot too if offered for sale.

I would also contact expresso beans, craig's list, ebay, amazon, and all the galleries that usually sell Mr. B's stuff on the secondary market to give them a heads up so if it does pop up you are on the record already. My greatest fear is if we ever had a fire in my house is first the humans, dog and my art in that order are safe.

you may not have realised this but PoW and Pest Control are inheritantly connected by the contact for both these
good luck, hopefully with PC/POW alerted to the numbers these will be tracked down

I hope this has a happy ending for bojangles

BANKSY'S STOLEN, by bojangles on May 6, 2010 17:45:02 GMT 1, i've been advised not to publicise the edition numbers sorry guys i know it would make sense.
The bottom line is if you see a nola grey rain for sale, as all would do anyway, demand to see the coa. If they cannot provide it let me know and then we can verify the edition numbers privately. same for the signed happy choppers. POW know about this so a quick call to them would verify it as cosher.
obviously the police are monitoring ebay and auction houses etc so this was really in relation to the forum and trading on here.
thanks again for all your concern i so want to damage the people who did this!! oh and hopefully get the work back.

BANKSY'S STOLEN, by stillborncrisps on May 6, 2010 20:15:26 GMT 1, Do you think the thieves knew exactly what they were doing/targeted you, or they just 'got lucky'?
I always thought numbered editions were the most pointless thing to steal as they're obviously so traceable. Guess I'm wrong.
Hope they get found & returned soon.
