Art ... Ok I know some would say not art . Should the Banksy that was nicked off Wood Greens poundland ( couldn't make it up really ) be sold for thousands in America .. They somehow got it off the wall??? Who does it belong to , who owns it ? If one appeared on your house what would you do ? Sorry not bikes just a strange topic !

Its all crap to be honest. Bansky is very clever, its street art, thats good to look at. stencils and all that. Not worth a toss if you ask me.
At his peak Banksy was the greatest in the world. That save from Pele in Mexico 1970 was sublime. Taught Peter Shilton a thing or two as well....
He just copied Le Rat, no real talent, just layered stencil work. Hyped up by the press. Not a true free hand graffiti artist. There was a docu, Graffiti Wars, on C4 a few years back with him and King Robbo. Going over each others "art"
Thinking its placement and content could have been filled with a tad of irony and a political statement...but if its nicked why is it not a crime? The yanks come after our citizens and extradite for the smallest thing, so lets get after theirs!
