So reports the LA Weekly. Apparently CBS Outdoor was so upset with Banksy’s appropriation and, shall we say, transformation of one of their billboards that they had some of their crew take it down and crumble it up into a useless ball. Problem? The billboard was estimated to be worth $600,000 (the Banksy artwork that is).

LA Weekly here, with some interesting video footage of the artwork being trashed.
