From my understanding, any property acquired through the crime will be sold off to make restitution. In the case of the Banksy, it could work out quite nicely for the convicted as the elevated value of the Banksy would offset some of the money spent on hookers and blow...
Edit - I guess you're saying if the value of the Banksy ended up eclipsing the total value of the theft... Interesting questions.
