so if you paint on council owned property or deface a road sign should you be charged, i think so, who dose this Banksy fellow think he is paint on road signs, im a tax payer, he needs arresting himself what do you think, one law for all
It's not like london traffic regulation works efficiently anyways. Traffic lights for pedestrians (if they are installed) are just there to abuse you and make you wait five minutes before crossing the road.
correct me if i am wrong but should Banksy be held to account for his actions in defacing a road sign could be considered putting road users in danger if it cannot be seen clearly

The people moaning that this is theft would be the first to moan that there's graffiti on a sign , only because its a Banksy piece with value your all getting offended.
Now what exactly was stolen here, the stop sign, or an item of graffiti, or a stop sign and (or with) an item of graffiti? I ask, because the haste with which the police have responded is not customary. Another question: Whose property is the sign, or is ownership in this case divisible, or perhaps joint, between the original sign and the author of the graffiti augment? You can't help wondering whether the status of the graffitist has accorded the sign a certain protected privilege. This case is surely, after all, a matter of defaced public property, and the consequent issue of causing a hazard to traffic. What steps, if any, have the police taken to apprehend the graffitist for defacing public property and thereby compromising visibility to motorists? Let is say a decent, sensible, orderly. upright, rightminded, safety conscious, community spirited, diligent, law-abiding and aesthetically discerning citizen had pre-empted the question by cheerfully scrubbing the sign back to its original condition and purpose; then what possible objection could be raised?
It's either a publicity stunt or the suspects are supremely confident that they act by committing a criminal offence, in broad daylight, on a London street, with dozens of witnesses watching and recording the act, with impunity

Understand that Banksy has special ‘establishment approval’ status. His work is a pastiche of Sixties agitprop graffiti, which has nostalgic significance for the governing elite who were undergraduates of that period. In Cheltenham, Banksy ‘decorated’ the gable end of a private house. The local authority slapped a special protection order on it. The homeowner, who was not consulted by Banksy, was forbidden from repairing the vandalism. We need wholesale political change in this country
He got here on Banksy human trafficking boat, the irony. Stop bringing people to england on your boat mr banksy it is illegal

He saw the vandalism, taken the sign to ride back to his garage on his Yamaha to clean it. Since the council is replacing the sign there is no need to add extra pollution, so will keep the sign.
How about your little shallow mind considering that this act may actually be part of the art? Who would steal graffiti in broad daylight and in plain view unless they were looking 4 trouble.

@@allanchurm yes but the theft may still be the art. Three planes on a stop sign isn’t much of a statement about Palestine. You would expect more from him and here you have it. Theft in plain sight.
Nice of Banksy to do some charity work this holiday season. I think he appreciates people who are poor profiting from his work more than rich jerks profiting off of it.
No one will pay a dime for that, Illegal to steal a stop sign and the Banksy world usually ignores removed pieces as street art as worthless, I know the artist does
I guess I don't get it... Was this a legit street sign? There shouldn't be "art" on a street sign... It's distracting to drivers. Also, lots of racist comments down below.
I thought Banksey was against capitalism however at his exhibition it was 3 floors and one of the floors was an over priced gift shop of poorly made items you would find at at any old junk shop. The shop was so big and overpriced it was capitalism on steroids. What a sale out 👎🏼
Master criminal the way he slid up to that sign and slipped away makes me wonder if houdini has come back from the dead as a black man. It was so subtle it just proves ghosts can't 👻 be caught on camera. I can see all the art dealers wanting that as nobody knows its been stolen Its absolutely genius . Stop and search won't be needed he will be the only octagonal shaped person in Peckham.
So that stop sign is just a trash. Even It was made by Banksy if you can't sold it in an auction for the reason you stole it. The value will remain 0. I hope he stole it for the art but not for its value thinking he will be rich if he sells it.
the sign said stop but he just carried on.
Lol

The whole reason stop signs are that shape is so you can see that it’s a stop sign even if it’s covered by ice or snow for example

The theft itself is art.

I just got an email from a Nigerian Prince saying his mother just died and left him a priceless artwork which he said he will deliver personally if I send him my bank details and a photo of my passport.
Praise jaysuss!
The lord helps those who help themselves!
What was the graffii showing ?
The photo of the theft looks like something Banksy would paint. The theft is art.

@@allanchurm yes but the theft may still be the art. Three planes on a stop sign isn’t much of a statement about Palestine. You would expect more from him and here you have it. Theft in plain sight.
I agree the theft is art.
Thieves would agree
That was not art it was damage to government property and wanksy should also he arrested for putting people in danger
Call me racist but we all knew who was gonna take it.
I thought it would be spongebob squarepants. How wrong was I.
The French again
OMG I thought it was gonna be an Asian woman committing the crime....I'm shocked!!
Unrelated, I know... But: what type of jacket is that he's wearing?
nice piece of performance art, make a "rebellious artwork" then hire two blokes to "steal" it. People go bonkers = brilliant?
His father must be really proud of him ...oh wait, he's black and the father walked out when he was a child.
He shouldn’t paint things that can easily be taken. I’d stick to walls and buildings
Now arrest his accomplice.
Nice thing is that it stops being an official Bansky as soon as he steals it... Bansky won't recognise it
Nice of Banksy to do some charity work this holiday season. I think he appreciates people who are poor profiting from his work more than rich jerks profiting off of it.
there is that now its on the news he will sell it somewhere.
Did you ran a credit check no the guy? 😅
If I deface a road sign would it be considered art or vandalism? I suppose it’s ok as long as your name is Banksy ???????
The usual suspects.
NOT SURPRISED!!
Non of ya did anything. Not even following the person. Five could have surrounded him. Held him down. You should all be ashamed too.
No one will pay a dime for that,
Illegal to steal a stop sign and the Banksy world usually ignores removed pieces as street art as worthless, I know the artist does
Banksy probably asked him to do it or paid him to do it; for all we know that is Banksy.
People just mad cause he thought of it first😂

I wouldn't be surprised if the stealing was planned, part of the art.
It is just like that hidden shredder artwork he did at the auction
Banksy used to leave art all over london for people to find.
Funny nobody is concerned about grafitti on a road safety sign.
Imagine my shock. I'd check on the bicycle as well whilst the police are involved.
well it makes a change from stealing bikes , and he didnt even need his angle grinder for this one.

Just replace the sign and sell that bad boy
They can't help themselves can they?
There goes Banksy taking his art work back to touch it up😂
So that stop sign is just a trash. Even It was made by Banksy if you can't sold it in an auction for the reason you stole it. The value will remain 0. I hope he stole it for the art but not for its value thinking he will be rich if he sells it.
Are you sure is was stolen.... and not preserved/protected from other graffiti artists ?
Or sold to fund a community project benefitting thousands of lepers.
Well Well Well
Unemployed behaviour
Unemployed or not it's in their d.n.a
The state is force to change that sign anyways so the guy who stole it knew that.
Worth five hundred thousand. So anyone on ebay grab a bargain. The guy who stole it can be recognised by his bright red coat.
Surprise Surprise
It's south london innit yeah?
Wellcome to South London
🥷🏿
How is it possible to steal graffiti art? The STOP sign clearly adds to confusion when a road user.
Very strange.
Politely being looked after by Peckham black community
Well done
It will be put to better use
The evidence to arrest the two criminals is clear. Why have the police not made an arrest and presented the criminals before the courts ?
Cause the thieves are the wrong colour
To the victor, the spoils
Oh, the coveted ones at it again.
