Some thieves just do not care who is watching! In July 2007, a clever seagull in Aberdeen, Scotland, learned how to shoplift. The locals even gave him the name "Sam." Whenever the store worker was not looking, Sam the seagull would walk right through the open doors of a local shop. He would march up to the snack rack, grab a bright orange bag of cheese chips in his beak, and run outside! Once outside, he would rip the bag open and share the chips with his bird friends. Sam became a local star, and customers even started paying for his stolen snacks!
