They cordoned it off and covered it with tarps or sheets. They don’t want to paint over it or destroy it because it’s instantly worth a fortune and nobody knows exactly what to do, which is part of the genius of it.

To a degree, people will cut out chunks of wall to sell a banksy.
They always go for a cover up
Usually it’s just fenced off and people can still see it. Makes me think some one was upset with it.
