6. Who Robs A Banksy?

Play
Website Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
There aren't many people who can say that they've had a Banksy statue in their back garden, but Andy Link is one of them. In 2004, he kidnapped one of Banksy's pieces of art in broad daylight from the middle of central London, and held it to ransom. The fact that someone would kidnap a Banksy statue is pretty absurd already, but the story of why it happened, how the statue vanished again after it was kidnapped, and how it was mysteriously put up for auction over 10 years later is even wilder. It all comes down to 1 man, and a 2 decade long vendetta...more Producer/Network Podimo & Message Heard
