that is a fooker collector, but it was only a matter of time before this would start to happen. No doubt it will appear on Ebay soon enough

This is all getting Mad

I know this has been said before BUT these pieces were put up for us all to enjoy and OK were never meant to be permanent but fade into the background and surrounding landscape as they weathered and aged. Not hacked off walls and sold on ebay for vast sums of money.
It used to be the odd door here and there now whole walls are disappearing.

Funny thing is around the corner from where I live in Belsize Park some foreign builders painted over, while they renovated a house, the large anarchy rat that had sat quite happily for years under the Ornan Rd sign.
They painted over it and the rest of the wall without obviously having any idea what they were doing. I am surprised the developer had allowed it to happen after all they are usually more on the ball and always out to make a quick buck.

However this stupidity, is not as bad as the selling of walls.
At least no one gets to see this anymore rather than some rich person hiding their wall away in their Loft Apartment or Large garden etc

Very Sad

If I was Mr B I'd get fed up with it all.
The wall selling bit that is, I think he'd just laugh at the ignorant builders.

Anything can happen I guess when you use other peoples property as your canvas. WOnder what if any strategy you could use to thwart this kind of thing? Seems even building will be torn apart now.
