Stop, Thief!
A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop.
The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn’t looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.
Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.
The seagull’s shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland, and helped himself to a bag of chips. Since then, he’s become a regular. He always takes the same type of chips.
Customers have begun paying for the seagull’s stolen bags of chips because they think it’s so funny.

Have they ever done any evolutionary studies linking seagulls and squirrels together? Seagulls are amazing. There can be one in front of you at the beach, you throw it a scrap of food, next thing you know there’s a thousand of them circling your head.

Seagulls, squirrels and racoons, too. Thieves, all of them. Surely, they’re related.
