Michelle.

21 February 2014. New Orleans, Louisiana.
A considerably irrational and unpleasant 'private art handler' from Los Angeles, giving his name only as Chris chops an original Banksy known as 'Rain Girl' from the wall of an old abandoned store in New Orleans on the corner of North Rampart and Kerlerec streets. Chris claims the artwork is to be shipped to London for a Tate Modern retrospective of Banksy's work in April. Chris also claims the artwork will be re-installed at its current location once the exhibition is finished - a claim local residents seriously doubt.
