Street art is not always about stencils, graffiti and spray paint. It is in fact an umbrella term which encapsulates any form of visual art created in a public area, and not necessarily with legal approval. Here are some examples of pieces which you may have not realised were classified as street art.
Yarnbombing - a relatively new form of graffiti in which artists cover a chosen object in knitted yarn. Yarnbombers have hit anything from trees, bikes and cars to statues and even street signs. These photos are on http://www.streetartutopia.com/?p=3554

Chalk art - artists create 3D chalk art to impress crowds with perspective and skill. These images are from http://f4dstudios.com/blog/3d-sidewalk-chalk-art/
The Little People Project - a cute and interesting commentary on society. The artist leaves little figurines of people around Europe, often as statements on employment. More information can be found at http://little-people.blogspot.com.au/
