A Banksy mural, once valued at more than $720,000, must be returned to a British seaside town after it failed to sell in the U.S., a London judge ruled.

The "Art Buff" attributed to the pseudo-anonymous British graffiti artist, was painted as part of a public art project last year on the side of a Folkestone amusement arcade called “Dreamland.”
