Steal Banksy NBG print!, by sal on Dec 7, 2011 12:49:23 GMT 1, quite smart and creative way to promote business:
"The art at Art Series Hotels is not for stealing. But this Summer, weโre shifting the goalposts and hiding a Banksy in one of our Hotels for you to steal. The $15,000 masterpiece is one of just a handful of signed and authenticated Banksys available in Australia. Find it, as it does the rounds of our hotels, and it could be yours...

Steal Banksy NBG print!, by Rubys on Dec 19, 2011 4:15:53 GMT 1, Itโs Gone!
The Banksy No Ball Games was successfully โstolenโ from the Blackman Hotel this morning (Monday 19th) at 8:05AM by Maura Tuohy and her accomplice Megan Aney. The theft was carried out in classic art crook style- right under our noses. (Not to fear we have another one. See below.) Excellent work Maura and Megan, we commend you.
The Theft
Maura Tuohy checked into the hotel on Saturday night pretending to be from an Art Series Hotel agency. She claimed she worked with various members of the agency team and told hotel staff that she was asked to drive the painting to another hotel.
Highly suspicious staff asked for a number to phone in order to verify her story. Tuohy provided the number of her accomplice, Megan Aney, who verified the story. After a dozen more questions she then walked the artwork right out of the hotel with the help of the hotel staff, put it in her car, and returned 15 minutes later to brag about her cunning and guile. Excellent work.
The heist was a success and followed several failed attempts by other hotel guests including the hacking of three CCTV cameras focused on the Banksy, a listening device being placed underneath the desk at Reception and guests phoned Reception with housekeeping issues in an attempt to get them to step away from the painting.
The Next Banksy
A second Banksy original โPulp Fictionโ valued at $4000 is now hanging. You have until January 15th to steal it. Remember rule number two from our competition terms: Be cool - art thieves are always cool.
Itโs Gone!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Or people who know hotel staff.
As if the people at the hotel do know the person who is comming in to collect it to place it in the other hotel.
It seems a little bit too sus to me
