Criminal Tooled Up


[A brand-new Banksy was apparently stolen
from a south London street today
less than an hour after it was
revealed to be genuine.
The artist confirmed the artwork - a traffic stop sign
covered with three military drones - was his
in an Instagram post shortly after midday.
At around 12.30pm, two men were seen
hurriedly taking down the sign using
a pair of bolt cutters,
with one balancing on a
Lime e-bike to allow him to reach.]

I'm just surprised that South London thugs keep up to date with the latest goings-on in the art world.

Maybe they'd gone to somewhere which has electricity at the time?

[rusticgal]

Maybe they should be searching for the artist who defaced the Road sign in the first place…:laugh:
