This is the moment a Banksy artwork appears to be stolen by three men - mere hours after it appeared on the streets of south London. <br /><br />The elusive artist took to Instagram on Thursday (August 8) to share photos of his latest creation - which depicts a lone wolf howling towards the sky. <br /><br />The wolf had been painted on a satellite dish, which once sat on top of a building on Rye Lane in Peckham. <br /><br />However, after Banksy posted his artwork to social media, the satellite dish was snatched.<br /><br />Videos show three men - two wearing hoods - use a ladder to climb atop the building and retrieve the artwork. <br /><br />They climb back down with the satellite in hand and one of the men, wearing a black hoodie and denim shorts, walks away with it. <br /><br />It is unclear if the theft is part of a stunt - but the Banksy press team told the BBC they "believed" it had been stolen.<br /><br />The Metropolitan Police said it had been called to reports of a "stolen satellite dish containing artwork" but no arrests had been made.<br /><br />Tom Kellow was the member of the public taking the video - and confronted the men.<br /><br />He asks the one where he is going, to which he replies: "I haven't done anything wrong." <br /><br />When he is pressed about who the two men he was with are, the man claims: "No clue." <br /><br />Mr Kellow said: "Within an hour of the Banksy wolf dish being made public there were already 20 or so people who had made it down to admire the work - so the initial reception was great. <br /><br />"It's just a shame more people didn't get to see it." <br /><br />The wolf satellite dish was the fourth in a recent string of Banksy pieces appearing in different locations across London this week. <br /><br />A fifth piece of art appeared in Walthamstow, north-east London this afternoon (August 9).
