Bansky Spy Art Makes HomeOwner Rich

A woman in England woke up with her home’s value instantly increased by a half-millions pounds. The graffiti artist Bansky painted some spies tapping a telephone box.

From the DailyMail here:

A mother-of-five woke up to find her home had almost tripled in value overnight – after artist Banksy apparently sprayed a £500,000 mural on her wall.
Karen Smith, 48, heard voices outside in the early hours but thought nothing of it until she spotted men loading huge screens into a van in the morning.
She watched them drive off before finding a painting on the side of her £300,000 three-bed semi-detached house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Similar works of art recently chiselled off brickwork in London have sold for as much as £500,000 at auction.

Not a fan of graffiti, but Bansky’s stuff is pretty good, despite his politics.
