It's curtains for these thieves... and bedsheets and a cuddly toy! Baboon burglars make off with furnishings


The owners of a Cape Town flat had the shock of their life when they returned to find that their home had been destroyed by a group of cheeky baboons.
A dozen chacma baboons clambered into a third floor flat after one of their accomplices managed to get the window open.
The baboons raided the cabinets, stole food, ripped off the curtains and even made it off with a teddy bear.

When I lived in South Africa, many times we have stopped at a picnic area and been raided by a group of baboons also whilst driving round a mountain road in Cape Town if you pulled over into a layby the car would be swarming with baboons. There was also a park we could drive through where baboons lived.
 

Not so nice when they are raiding your picnic table and everyone has scattered in different directions.:lol:
