This is taken from "the Sun"...Just had to share it with ya! :)

A STUNNED burglary victim last night told how he woke up to find a chimpanzee stealing his mobile phone.

Cops think the ape raided ANOTHER flat two hours earlier after being trained to steal.

Mustapha Riat, 43, was in bed when he was woken at 8.30am yesterday by the window opening at his ground floor flat in Hackney, East London.

He said: “I saw this hairy black chimpanzee coming through my window. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was broad and muscular and I was frightened of being bitten.

“A long arm leaned about 5ft to my bedside table. It was in and out in a second. I had a lamp and a clock on the table but it only wanted the phone.

It must have been trained to go for it.” The Algerian-born teacher went outside to look for the ape and his £100 Samsung A300 mobile.

He said: “I asked people if they had seen a chimp who burgled me and obviously they were pretty staggered.”

Cops believe that at 6.30am, the ape burgled Gina Davidson’s ground floor flat, 20 doors along from Mustapha.

Nobody saw the chimp. Gina, 23, said: “The DVD player was moved and a watch was missing. Police dusted my flat for fingerprints but how will that help catch a chimp?”

Scotland Yard said: “The caller to the second burglary confirmed to police he had seen a monkey disappear from the premises.”

A source added: “We can only speculate it’s a pet whose owner trained it to burgle.”

So be on the lookout...the chimp may just strike your house next! Lol :)
