What happens when you wake up with a Banksy on your wall? @BBCNews looks at what happened to two homeowners who experienced exactly that. "Both artworks have been taken off the houses they were painted on — a complex, expensive operation that uses specialist equipment — so they can be sold," writes James Peak, host of Radio 4 podcast "The Banksy Story." "But while the Banksy in Margate is now on the verge of selling for well over £1m, with a sizeable chunk set to go to a domestic violence charity, and with the piece remaining in the town for the foreseeable future, the Banksy up the coast in Lowestoft languishes in a climate-controlled warehouse, costing its owners £3,000 per month."

A quotation from Banksy

The people who truly deface our neighbourhoods are the companies that scrawl their giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff. They expect to be able to shout their message in your face from every available surface but you’re never allowed to answer back. Well, they started this fight and the wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back.
