Monkey steals tourist's glasses

Just imagine , if during your visit to a foreign land you find that your costly reading glasses have been stolen from your hotel room. You shall be frustrated but more if the pair of glasses have been stolen by a monkey!!!!!!!. Exactly same thing happened with a South Korean tourist while he was visiting the Hindu holy city of Varanasi in northern India.

Kim Dang Hoon has filed a formal complaint against a monkey he says stole his reading glasses during his visit to the Varanasi.

Kim Dang Hoon says he opened his hotel room window for fresh air when the monkey made his move.

"He headed straight to the table where my glasses were kept and took it away," Kim said in the statement.

Part of the frame later was recovered by hotel staff and Kim said he filed the report so he can make a damages claim on his travel insurance.

Thousands of wild monkeys roam Varanasi, dotting the trees on the banks of the Ganges River and scampering through the city's many temples, where they are venerated as manifestations of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.

On Tuesday, police combed Varanasi's alleys searching for the monkey.

"It is difficult to trace the monkey but I am trying my best to locate the rogue," investigating officer Inspector Govind Singh said from Varanasi, some 185 miles southeast of Lucknow.

"But we can't do anything. We cannot shoot them or beat them as Hindus worship monkeys," he said.

Lo its Gone - Confessions of a Car thief

As per one Times of India report, here below are some interesting ways in which this "Car Thief" from Mumbai steals & changes the cars altogether within no time :

"Salim Sheikh had a reputation for using his nimble fingers to strip luxury cars in a few minutes of their 'nut and bolt' (as roadside argot goes).

After he was arrested and booked for stealing seven cars, Sheikh proudly told investigators that he could change the complexion and character of any car within a few hours.

Essentially, he would change the colour of the car, its upholstery, the rims on the tyre, clutch pad, brake pad and steering. The touch of ingenuity would be to steal two identical models within a short span and then interchange their chassis: both vehicles would thus be completely unrecognisable to even the original owners.

The 'overhauled' car would then be ready to begin a new life with a new number plate and a fake Registration Certificate (RC) book in a different city under an unsuspecting buyer. "

So dear friends, take care of your cars well as these type of thieves might be prowling in your area also.
