How does Banksy not get caught?

Given the scale, locations, and (occasional) complexity I feel like someone should have figured it out by now

everything he's done in the last ten years has been arranged behind the scenes to be done legally but appear as if it was illegal.

this. also
>"Banksy" is not a person. he is a collaborative project by well known 'street artists'. A very successful project at that

Yeah, I thought about that, but even within local governments there would be people who wouldn't want to collude and would want the fame that comes with exposing banksy

>>220135
Have heard this too, and I think this is likely the case, but again why has zero of them been caught?

>>220025
Super short TL;DR is he (or they) make political graffiti all around the world in large cities and have never been caught

There was an old guy near where I live that sold "banksy fakes" for $2. Turns out every single piece was a genuine Banksy.

think about it. when someone 'catches' banksy its just sheperd fairey. banksy doesnt really have a style besides 'trite bullshit' so he could easily modify it in progress or whatever. its too planned for anyone to get caught anyway

Back in the day he made a lot to not get caught, he disguised himself as a worker, he painted at ungodly hours and such.

I can attest that when you start painting very early in the morning no one bothers you, because they just assume you got permission.

Now he it's so famous that he just get the permission and paints.
