The artwork showed a girl hula-hooping with a tyre next to a bike missing its back wheelThe graffiti artist's latest piece appeared on a residential street in Nottingham on 13 October.But the bicycle vanished from its post outside a beauty parlour in Rothesay Avenue over the weekend, which one visitor described as "such a shame".
Resident Tracy Jayne found the artwork had been targeted when she went to visit it on Sunday morning."The artwork records an important part of Nottingham's history, Raleigh bikes," she said."It's such a shame that someone has stolen the bike. It's sheer disrespect and saddens me very much. "
MyNottingham Thieves. Take from the... Banksy give to the...
Thieves Banksy
Its a piece of junk. Who the fuck cares?
So!! A piece of junk has been removed from in front of some Criminal Damage Vandalism
Wow must really be a slow news day when you cover half a bike vanishing aka taken to a dump
Breaking: Scrap men remove scrap
The scrap men probably took it. Can't leave anything metal outside too long... They'll have it away 😉
Poor Neil RyanLGilb0urne
Do some research before publishing stories. The Nottingham project have the bike. Lazy journalism as normal.
Love the way Banksy did this. He's walking along. Sees my painting on the wall, and goes and gets a broken down bicycle and locks it to the lamp post. We both win. Well done Banksy......but get your own ideas in future.
As much as I love Nottingham I can't say I'm surprised by this at all.
maybe he should have painted the raleigh bike next to the girl
They would nick the shit off your shoe round here trust me i live here.
i might be incredibly stupid, but isn't that the point of this piece? my interpretation of it was that it's picking fun at littering in residential areas. an opportunity born out of the lack of upkeep in certain areas. sure it's a great bit of history but is it really so bad?
Vanishes? Did somebody see it just disappear? Or do you mean 'stolen'?
I've got a shiny pound that it was tidied by an underpaid council worker doing their job.
Wouldn't be surprised is some council cleanup team has took it to the tip
like magic? Hopefully, someones getting some good use out of it Banksy bikes
Boris probably stole it to go for his morning exercise.
I think people might be expending a bit too much emotional energy into a bike locked to a lamp post with the back wheel missing and a busted front wheel. If I took a steaming dump in front of it you would probably call that art as well.
Yay, the vandalism has been removed
Some call it art but then others with more common sense call it graffiti -writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view.
Who cares ? FFS get a grip
'This is why we can't have nice things' 🙄 (I'm only surprised it didn't happen sooner)
Lets be honest, should we be suprised? 🙄🤦♂️
is any one surprised? it is 2020. is now a good time to advertise my artwork prints🤣
And in todays publicly paid news that isn't news, someone takes a bicycle that privileged white people pompously proclaim to be valuable so we should feel shock and outrage
Really tragic. Nice idea including a real bike in the art work. It needs to be returned.
Surprised it’s taken so long. I predicted it would be in Sotherby’s or a New York auction house by the end of the year.
Maybe the bike is being repaired and refurbished under the government scheme.
People expecting it to remain there for 100s of years like some monument. Maybe the owner of the bike took it - because it's their property?
They should of metal wield the bike to the pole..should of would of!
No suprise we live in a country were idiots carry knifes around to stab each other
Wanksy
When will Banksy finally be arrested for criminal damage and made to pay the £100,000s in repairs?
Banksy: a vapid 'artist' for the vapid nation we have become.
It is Nottingham. Check on ebay.
We can always hope
Culture less heathens. Britain is fucked!
Please stop advertising this company.
Banksy should be prosecuted for criminal damage and fined for fly tipping !!!
no its defintely there in the picture
Official_MRLP defundthebbc
🍀😵
Ok let’s be honest this isn’t art, Bankys is vandalism. If someone else did this a dumped an old bike it would be called fly tipping
I'm more concerned about the crap on the wall be classed as art
2 funny
You’re failing your brief BBC news - you’re biased unrepresentative inaccurate and pursuing your own agenda
Stop everything... major alert...
We are too ignorant to sustain street art
Probably the only bit worth nicking. But its deemed brilliant work of art by those who consider a pile of poo worthy of the title art. I am sure banksy insured it.
woah hey bestie
Nottingham is famous for robbing as we all ‘now lol
Long time ago I hoolahooped lol
Good that the trashed bike was removed, shame they didnt clean the wall while they were there.
Sadly we live in a country full of thieving scumbags
Just got to make banksy dissappear now
Police are now looking for a man with watering eyes!
Some people r such dumbs, right?
Think I may have found it in Canons Park
Is it a banksy's creation👀... realyyy Wow... u r lucky 💫👍😃😃.. might i come to see after corona 🤩
Maybe he rode it back to Bristol....climate change and all that
Most welcome in the broadcast
AND ?
Last seen at the tip in Nottingham! 🤣🤣👍👍
When I saw the tweet, had to double check it wasn't a spoof account.
This is one of Banksy’s very best. I have travelled around and seen 6 Banksy’s and this is a good one. It should be taken down carefully and put in the V&A or other top museum. Praise Banksy’s as the greatest UK artist.
It’s a story of the thief and the vandal. Timeless classic.
Question was the bike already there and abandoned before the mural was painted ? Or did Banksy place it there?
The modern Spanish Inquisition ,
Just the graffiti to go now 👍.
'Banksy schmanksy,' I say. Ride on, dude, into the sunset.
Im going to say it...Banksy is overrated shite...ahhh that feels good.
Probably council street cleaning team? What’s the bets they will be back to remove the graffiti off the wall too 🙄 Most reported stolen cars are actually towed away by councils 🤷♂️
Surprised it wasn't removed already. Probably the council doing it on the quiet.
hopefully Banksy vanishes too
Fly tipping. Graffiti. Lock him up
Oh BBC, it’s Stolen! Bike don’t vanishes!
Over rated crap from a graffiti vandal!
Re-cycle. LoL

Surprised it took em that long lol
File a Police report!
If something can be taken or destroyed, someone will do it.
He's very negative. He needs to sort out his own issues before he drags us all down.
We live in the 'doesn't refer to me' era.
Ah.
Sad!
