Well, this is unsurprising. The Faile prayer wheel bolted on to North 6th Street in Williamsburg has been uprooted by some enterprising art collector (eBay seller). AnimalNY reports that "Despite being bolted to the sidewalk, the carved wooden post with a spinning prayer wheel on top has disappeared after less than a week. While it’s not clear who removed the piece, the motivation for doing so is: their work fetches tens of thousands of dollars." Ah, the five finger bailout.





Maybe if gothamist had'nt hyped it up, and let people discover it as they should have, on the street, it might be still there now.
Yeah, the theft is all Gothamist's fault.
Moron.
It could have been removed by the city, with whoever owns the property it is in front of getting a ticket.

Or, it could have been removed by the same people who had put it there.
I can't imagine that this could have been legal. People can't just bolt things to public sidewalks without at least some kind of permit.
pretty sure the hipster grifter is responsible for this, as well as the birth certificate thefts
nope, not slutty enough.
maybe she threw it down her hallway
C- C-Can I...have the knife..... Pleeeeeezzzzzz?
That is the first thing I thought of as well.
i can't believe that no one has said FAIL-e
