Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by gibbin82 on Feb 15, 2011 16:48:19 GMT 1, I would much prefer to have seen it whitewashed by a local authority/property owner or defaced King Robbo style than this, as that seems to me the be the natural way any piece of street art or grafitti should end its days, it is a shame that so much work that Banksy has given to everybody ends up benefitting so few.

Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by eddiedangerous on Feb 15, 2011 17:00:53 GMT 1, what? on the thread especially about this.
i thought the forum was about discussing things like this.
it seems people do want to post abuse about it on their forum,
as clearly the seller wont publish any comments, and if nothing else it might save someone parting with their hard earned cash if they can see the general feeling of banksy fans.
even without coa i think this would be worth something in the future as it appeared on banksy's site and they have photo's of the removal proving it is from that exact place.

Personally I doubt it has been stolen.....more than likely purchased from owner or splitting profits with owner?

It was by email so if I get a reply I will post their answer, if I don't get a reply I guess they do know, but judging by the rough cutting and damage to the corner trims it was done in a hurry and they were not aware of its removal.

Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by andrewd on Feb 15, 2011 21:18:46 GMT 1, No way this was taken with permission, it's been hacked off and the alarm taken. Whoever did it has left a crate on the floor as they weren't tall enough to reach all of it.
This was no no means my favourite Banksy but it is about 3 mins walk from my house and I liked the way that was just there in a kind of anonymous way unlike lots of other recent Banksy works.

Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by mungojerry on Feb 16, 2011 0:12:01 GMT 1, It is ironic how people can get upset about people maybe or maybe not steeling something this work was graffiti on a building which in it self is a crime so may be both acts go hand in hand most of the pictures in the Louvre Paris were stolen from places from around the world imo..The best thing to do is no one offer he or she a price for the item nor any other item which as been removed from the street's i.e. eradicating supply and demand..? and we then all can share the joy of seeing these pieces of street art were thy belong on the street not on some well known sale sites!!

you make some good points, but i would like to point out a few things.
1. Two wrongs dont make a right, just because the graffiti is a crime does not justify any other crime.
2. To my knowledge paint on a building is much less malicious than stealing a fire alarm.
3. People have justification to be upset about this moron putting people in danger.
4. People should be less outraged about the stealing of street graffiti.
5. Stealing is a crime in all instances, graffiti is not always a crime.
6. People who harm others should be prosecuted, acts that harm no one in a libertarian society would not be prosecuted, i.e. Locke et.al.
Really it only depends on which ethos you subscribe to, that will draw your ire to certain actions. In this case I think we can all agree that if we were to be in that building and were endangered because of faulty fire warning systems due to the removal of the alarm we would have a case against the perpetrators of this crime. Therefore these people should be reported to the proper authorities in london and a complaint should be made by someone who lives in london. As I live in the US I cannot make a claim because I have not physically seen the damage. The best thing anyone could do is to notify the building owners and let the chips fall where they may.

I wonder if they were as zealous in calling the met on Banksy for graffiti. Selling stolen goods and graffiti are a crime according to the police.

Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by Goooogle Male on Feb 16, 2011 11:48:59 GMT 1, smudger. Serious question - which piece of legislation actually states the existence of grafitti is a crime? The act of doing so is probably included under a public order offence, but the only prosecutions appear under "conspiracy to cause criminal damage".
Now...the problem with Banksy is that, god forbid, he (or associated) should ever be caught it would be very tough to argue his work actually constitutes criminal damage as the consequences of his actions actually increase the value of the property affected. The numerous examples of people keeping/reselling property attached to his work would make a conviction IN HIS CASE very difficult indeed, as in law DAMAGE = loss, and to prove in court a loss has occurred would be tough.

I thought it was the same user name but when I searched the completed listings there was nothing showing so I concluded it must have been someone else.
