in the really fucking obvious way.
Being a Banksy makes it even more clear, ironically, as he always gives away the ownership of his public pieces.
Those who took it would be wise to make an Art Prank video though, just to cover themselves.

It’s a stop sign. Street furniture is not “abandoned”.
The council is entitled to be miffed. With the thieves, and also with Gunningham.

How's that?
It's a stop sign in Peckham. It'll be owned by (property of) Southwark Council.

Is it? I thought it was an artwork resembling a stop sign. The article doesn't make it clear. If it was just his planes on an original sign, then yeah, that would appear to be theft. Criminal damage at the very least.

There’s probably something on the books about stealing a traffic instruction from her majesties highways or something.

The Grauniad has footage of the ne'er do wells making off with the sign. You can see it’s a real one.

and indeed, a quick look at google earth says there was an incredibly similar looking stop sign there before....
They better play the Art Prank card quickly.

Pay the fine for nicking the stop sign and say the sign has moved on

This is a famous piece of art “disquieting duckling” by Asger Jorn. He found the painting underneath in a flea market and painted the duck on top. Like some lame 1950s photoshop. Oh and he was quite influential apparently.
Recently, another artist, decided to go and visit the duck and put her own art over the top, basically her scrawled name. the anger that arose, was because Danish bourgeois society was unable to have that discussion with itself. Oh and the fact that no one asked for it. And they were quite alright with the duck, thank you very much. And it was just basic attention seeking.

An Artist Who Attacked an Asger Jorn Painting in a Denmark Museum Apologizes for Accidentally Using Such a Strong Glue
A painting by Danish artist Asger Jorn was vandalized by Ibi-Pippi Orup Hedegaard. Was it a right-wing motivated attack?

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Disappointed none of the aghast onlookers were caught hollering 'STOP THIEF! STOP THIEF!'

But it's obviously stolen and Banksy doesn't authenticate illegally obtained works.
They've got a stop sign that no one can legally buy.
