Banksy painting stolen from Bataclan, by Always Second on Jan 26, 2019 21:00:20 GMT 1,
A painting in homage to terror victims by the world-famous graffiti artist Banksy has been stolen from the Bataclan concert venue in Paris, where Islamist gunmen killed 90 people in 2015.
Hooded thieves were filmed on CCTV in the early hours of Saturday cutting the image of a sad-faced girl from the emergency door of the theatre. The robbers drove off in a white van, witnesses said.
François Vauglin, mayor of Paris’s 11th arrondissement, said: “This silhouette was made by the artist for free. It was an altruistic gesture to pay tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack and their loved ones, and I find it very sad that people have grabbed it without thinking about everything it represents.”
The Bataclan attack was the most murderous of a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people on November 13, 2015.
The stencilled white painting was found one morning in June last year on a back door to the Bataclan in the Saint-Pierre Amelot alleyway beside the venue. Banksy, who is British, had painted it overnight and later acknowledged it as his work, along with a number of other Paris street paintings.
Police investigators are trying to trace the thieves and recover the artwork, estimated to be worth millions. An alarm inside the Bataclan was reportedly set off around 4:25 am and police found a screwdriver beside the spot the painting was taken from.

Last year a Banksy print worth thousands of pounds was stolen from an exhibition of the artist’s work in Toronto.
The Bataclan management tweeted their “profound indignation” that a “symbol of remembrance belonging to all: local residents, Parisians, citizens of the world, has been taken from us. Banksy offered this artwork on the emergency door of the Bataclan for a reason, in a spirit of homage and support as an urban artist”.
They said the painting “only had meaning in that location, which is why we wanted to leave it there, free, in the street, accessible to all.”

Why they won’t ?!
Even on the article, they give the estimation of the artwork!
It’s a shame really. If they steal it it means that they have already buyers ?
Where ? We can’t accuse any country , but they are not amateurs ..
You do not know the human nature and all the damage the bait of gain does and will continue to do! Many works of worship, sacred places, martyrs, graves and tombs were looted in the name of God or whoever, many wars, looting and massacres took place just because of lust! Everything exists, even the worst! All can be sold and bought, even memory ,..

Yes, but it has been made in a long-term ( it’s not an excuse I reckon ) as les Croisades, wars, religion, colonies etc ..
But the difference is that now ( we are supposed to be more civilized even if a sophisticated bullet has the result as a stabbing) , actions, crimes, seem to be more quicker and organized because of the phones, web, etc ...
That s what I wanted to say - I have nothing against the rich apart my old anarchrist revendications lol. 
Our world could be as fabulous - because all is offered to discover with technologies - , as dramatical, kinda “ back in the middle-age “, and “ each for himsel “ ...
hopefully we are not like this here ( mostly as I read in a parallel Facebook/forum some kidding with this so sad event ) ..

Maybe it’s already in Russia, UK, France, on the way to USA, or in the suburbs, whereever the buyer ( s ) is ( are ) living . Because , that for sure, it’s an order. It was not gratuitous. Who will rob diamonds now with no receiver or stonecutter. Mafia has always buyers.

I don't think it helps that they keep on saying it's worth millions, which we all know its not.

Banksy painting stolen from Bataclan, by Lroy on Jan 27, 2019 15:05:09 GMT 1, Surely they would never be able to sell this. Its all over the media.everyone knows its nicked and hot property now
i just think the contrary 
They have found in Russian collectors Van Gogh , Corot or famous contemporary artists, that have been stolen or that they even did not found in any repertory !
They will keep in secrecy or in countries that nobody could intent a trial .. Anyway. With or without Sincura, we all know that stolen street-art pieces could not been condemned as they belong at the streets ( Bataclan could only complain for
the rob of their door, that’s all , and only in France, maybe Europe )

Shameless. Even the sincura group wouldn't stoop this low Probably right, they are too image conscious and know this would generate an unrecoverable disaster for their 'brand', which is already damaged enough. If they are behind this no one will ever know. |

Aye, because he has such a low profile. He probably removes all the street pieces himself to sell at inflated prices to raise his profile even further. It's a never-ending spiral of painting/removing/selling
