Whoops: Volunteers Paint Over Banksy's Paddington Bear
"A group of volunteers clearing graffiti from the walls and bus stops in their home town have inadvertently painted over a modern masterpiece - and cost its owner £5,000. The work, attributed to street artist Banksy, depicted Paddington Bear with the caption 'Migration is not a crime' and was painted on to a wall owned by Julian Chatt in Glastonbury, Somerset."
