Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by alsbabar on Sept 19, 2008 8:57:36 GMT 1, as the title says, most of his pieces in New Orleans have now either been stolen or painted over, you can even see in one of the pictures Gray Ghost painting over one of banksys works.
i guess it was inevitable that this would happen.

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by bs on Sept 19, 2008 9:28:40 GMT 1, was always going to happen
i really miss discovering new banksys, but i guess he is reluctant to do much,especially over here cause he knows within the time it takes to drop a stencil, a wall goes from being worthless to worth ยฃ300,000 to some greedy feck!

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by doublehelix on Sept 19, 2008 9:34:18 GMT 1, I would have preferred the grey ghost to buff all of them, rather than some greedy, selfish cunt, ripping the pieces of the wall. Inevitable it won't even be the owner of the building, adding insult to injury.

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by Sundowner on Sept 19, 2008 10:11:40 GMT 1, Someone told me the other day that there was an ex-serviceman that used to know who Banksy was and he used to follow him round for a year nicking anything that Banksy tagged but which wasn't tied down, before selling it on.......is there any truth in that or is it BS?

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by snowflake8888 on Sept 19, 2008 11:03:09 GMT 1, That's such a pity! Well, at least Pest Control will never authenticate them (although Vermin/PestilentScum will). It is unlikely the poor will benefit from it though, because ignorance is quite pervasive, so the raiders will probably profit.

Man I really hope these went to some poor New Orleans resident rather than someone like Jetset or bankrobber. I'm so F'ing sick of those guys.

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by Martin Whatson on Sept 19, 2008 19:08:15 GMT 1, The stealing is funny, what use will one of those pieces do on the inside of a house wall (possibly somewhere else then in New Orleans)??
I actually like that the Grey Ghost paints over his stuff. It really makes the pieces even more spot on!

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by romanywg on Sept 20, 2008 0:17:57 GMT 1, Stealing a Banksy warrants whole threads whereas there's a Faile from the streets for sale on the top of the Banksy info page and it doesn't get any response. Is it ok to nick Faile and other artists but a cardinal sin to steal a Banksy?
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320301362192
Several of us where wondering what on earth made someone take a large chunk out of a panel on Blackall Street (leaving an old Dface piece exposed) and now we know why.

I hadn't seen that at the top ofd the page - I don't think it makes any difference whether its a faile or a banksy. Would be suprised if anyone else thought otherwise.

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by ejvaze on Sept 20, 2008 1:01:22 GMT 1, I agree with coach it does not matter if it's a Banksy or any other artist for that matter street art is best left on the street.
I wonder what the Patrick's think of this
Anyone know their views?
Very sad re NOLA but better painted over than sold IMO

Banksy Streetart Stolen from New Orleans, by Wearology on Sept 20, 2008 14:05:08 GMT 1, I believe that Banksy did some of these pieces with the hope that they would be sold by the owners of these houses and not stolen -
I feel that the turtle , the trumpet player , and the rat were done on abandoned homes in a way that could easily be removed and sold.
Although I do not encourage stealing street art - If anyone knows the whereabouts of the turtle door I would be willing to pay top dollar for it - thanks
