Banksy artwork removed by masked men

A new Banksy animal artwork has been taken away within hours of being unveiled.

The silhouette of a howling wolf was painted onto a satellite dish on a property in Peckham, southeast London.

It was the fourth piece of animal artwork unveiled in London by the elusive artist in four days.

I didn't realise fighting to preserve your country involved so much wholesale theft. It's very patriotic.

I bet Vandal Banksy stole his own satellite dish for publicity. Not getting the attention he used to.

Why are they not showing the other 2 accomplices? What could be the motive for that.

[AJustmenow]

Why are we only allowed to comment on 💩 stories like these?

[julianshepherd]

Balaclavas, that is the booming bit of the economy

[richardmarsden]

One does get the feeling that Banksy 'works' are really a secret society communication messaging form for those in the know.

I haven't used stencils since primary school 😂

[keifer]

Why are people like Banksy admired? Guy is committing straight up vandalism

[pandorapiam]

I wonder what will happen if they try to sell this art work?

Here's my take on one of Banksy's works. It's a message to the government about its attitude to concerns over immigration and two-tier policing. Three wise monkeys see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.

Banksy simply saying that those roaming the streets looking for trouble are...animals

we love banksy keep up the great work

Time to ban balaclavas, especially when worn by groups of young lads hanging around on bikes, may as well be carrying a sack saying swag, wearing a striped jumper and and eye mask like a cartoon thief

[jonmurph]

Stolen, not taken. There's a difference.

[MariTeabag-lfly]

I sort of think they aren’t stealing it because they love it. Disgusting thieves.

Would we be surprised if the culprit's name was Seymore Banks?

[AD-gizg]

I found it very amusing when he took a pile of cinderblock bricks, arranged into the shape of the sphinx, with a bit of cement rubbed over it, and publicised it as his latest work. It was deliberately made so that if anybody tried to move it, it would fall to pieces. It was stolen, and people tried to auction it, imagining they would become rich.
It was in the movie 'Banksy Does New York' (2014). Youtube has a lo-res version.

Would it be ok for anyone else to randomly paint things? He should be charged like anyone else would be.

[sirbasilflapjack]

They nicked a satellite dish and it gets on the news.

[Brainlixr]

Banksy should be arrested for vandalism,
