Another Banksy is Removed for (possible) Sale.

Just months after a town launched a failed campaign to bring back "their" Banksy (turned out the sale was approved by the building's owners), another, more famous Banksy has been removed and is expected to find the auction block...

Two thoughts...

Banksy should start painting on walls owned by organizations that need the money and would use it for humanitarian needs, as this sort of thing is starting to become somewhat common-place...

And the general public needs to get over themselves. If it was any joe-schmo scribbling on a wall they'd call the police and get them arrested and the artwork removed. You don't get to pick and choose what graffiti is "owned" but the public, just because it's a famous artist that did it.
