Banksy Thiefs Arrested (London)

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.

Good to the point of being famous street art is for the people. Not those two guys.

I hope they are treated appropriately, because that one guy might be recognized infedinitely.

Ah, that famous movie "as thick as thiefs"

Is thieves not part of the US lexicon?
