Excerpt:
Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
Don't need encouragement, but the thoughts appreciated.

23I definitely wouldn't get a Flipper Zero for the purposes of theft. Allegedly it is a legal device that can be re-programmed to disable security tags and open charging ports on Tesla vehicles, which is wrong.
Definitely do not purchase a Flipper Zero and utilize it for theft or disruption. Its purposes are to open garage doors.
20Also visit other stores as well 🫡
13Based. Shoplift everywhere else too, especially the supermarkets.
10Very cooling looking forward to getting a ripped-off version of artwork with messages like "DAE Putin Gay?" And "It's a commentary on the police, innit?"
4His next piece should be called “Two Wrongs….”
