Banksy Theft Gang Thwarted, by motor on Mar 19, 2009 12:09:15 GMT 1, There's been a thread here recently started by someone new here about whereabouts of remaining Banksy pieces.
"Kill People" has been mentioned too with interesting comment about how the Olympics will ruin this one

But we all know that is not the case these days.
I am always a bit suspicious when threads like this are started (especially by new members).

But the simple fact is, that armed with the info provided these works end up being removed and sold. Its a real f**king shame.

Yes but you can't be naive about it. Its going to happen. People motivated by a criminal passion for money will always find a means to achieve getting their hands on what they want. Its not the first and its not likely to be the last. Is vandalism any better?

your posting on a forum dedicated to the biggest vandal in history, i think you know the answer to that question.
or did you mean vandalism to the street works created by MrB?
and Im not naive about street pieces being removed and sold, it just pisses me off.

''The biggest vandal in history'', does that exclude the sacking of Rome ? I was referring to the boneheads that deface the works, which from what i can see has happened here.

The kind of people who want to do this sort of thing really dont need any help in locating the pieces surely they already know where they are and will get them in the end
I know its contraversial but this is why when they are defaced at least they dont get robbed and then sold on at extortionate prices
