Was anyone ever charged and did it get to court? I haven't seen anything further

  • Joe changed the title to Banksy artwork in Rye Lane stolen

A big thank you to Banksy for trying again to give us a beautiful art piece. It looked great. Apologies for the scumbags. Maybe if you are ever Kind enough to  think of us in future you could do a self destructing one that stains their sticky little fingers for a long time.

I imagine Banksy is absolutely delighted each time one of his pieces gets nicked. Lots of press exposure and he still makes millions from prints on coasters, t.shirts and all the other tat. 

Does anyone else think his work is the kind hackneyed dross you'd expect from a first year student, who's just read an idiot's guide to socialism? Always thought it was hype, personally.

Oh gosh this is awful. How terrible. There will be lots of well to do parents trying to explain to Isla and Noah that someone with an ill and working class mind has stolen the picture that they worshipped for ten minutes or less when they were out and about for a whole weekend. The entire country should mourn.

Soz, should have said half a minute. The entire country must mourn x

Three men, masked and in black. Nobody tried to stop them, even when thy ran off. I didn't realise at first it was a robbery. If you see 3 men on a roof doing a job, you don't automatically think they're stealing something. Well, I don't. There were news cameras there already which I thought was odd. The camera man said he'd expected something to happen so he'd just waited. Odd.

They got the dish down the ladder and then ran off down the Rye. If there's ever an Olympic event for running along a crowded street carrying a large satellite dish and a ladder I can recommend this lot.

Not Only Fools and Horses as they didn't drop it.

Another way of looking at it is that the Chartwell Cancer Trust (on whose building the sculpture was fixed - it wasn't a picture) won't benefit from it now it's been stolen. Not from attention, footfall or flogging it.

The artwork wasn't even bolted down.  It seems Mr Banksy likes to make his Peckham artwork very nickable.  It's all part of the spectacle.

I imagine it's his way of making his work accessible to the working class.  I Know of someone whose house he erected a piece of work....she had it carefully removed and earned millions from it. Some would say why shouldn't the working class benefit from it? Some would say it's equal distribution...provided they  replace the satellite dish, pay for the sign..

 

Some would say he commits a crime by defacing public property

Some would say they appreciate the art in their area

 

some would say it's mediocre work.....

Some would say I don't care what it looks like, it could change my life....it's understandably tempting

As an insufferable pedant, I would argue that the last 'piece' was more Camberwell then Peckham (although admittedly debatable).

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
