...street works can be a risky business. Last month, five of the artist's street pieces failed to sell at auction because Banksy refused to verify their authenticity. In January, a wall Banksy painted received a final bid of over $400,000 in an eBay auction, but the sale was never finalized, according to Banksy's publicist.

This summer, Dallas County, Texas, started posting records online, but before that, the only way to get information on foreclosures had been to march down to the courthouse and scan the corkboard where filings were posted. Even that was hit-or-miss--people often ripped down the paper postings instead of jotting down the addresses...
