In case you haven't heard, the Art Series Hotels in Melbourne is offering hotel guests an opportunity to steal an original Banksy. If you can remove the piece without being caught, it's yours to keep, no strings attached.

The hotel made the offer over the summer, when two Banksy's resided within the Art Series Hotels. One of the two have successfully been removed, while the other is just waiting for you to come and take it. The piece currently up for grabs is Banksy's Pulp Fiction, valued at over $4,000. Guests have tried to steal this piece by re-wiring the internal security cameras, bringing in scantily clad women to distract staff, and just about everything else you could think of. Even Serena Williams gave it a try.

Guess it's time to book a flight and show 'em how it's done. [ArtDaily]
