You'd think such a subversive, underground, anti-establishment artist wouldn't get much police protection. You'd think vandalizing a traffic sign might even be treated as a crime itself. Yet this low-level theft of a graffiti'd sign resulted in two arrests in just two days, while the police are told to ignore shoplifting, car crime, and criminal damage [1]. Strange priorities.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/met-police-spending-cuts-400-million-funding-london-crimes-not-investigated-burglary-assault-a8002746.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/met-police-spend...</a>
Good to the point of being famous street art is for the people. Not those two guys.<p>I hope they are treated appropriately, because that one guy might be recognized infedinitely.
Ah, that famous movie "as thick as thiefs"<p>Is thieves not part of the US lexicon?<p>(The abc news, in Australia, did not write this headline)
