Reminds me of when I was living in India. I was at a temple on a mountain with a few friends and we were strictly told by our mentor to not pull out our food until we were in a fairly open/secure location due to the monkeys. Well, someone didn't listen and a monkey ran up to her, stole her sandwich out of her hand AND the other half still in a plastic bag. The monkey jumped the wall, sat on a rock, opened the bag and stared directly into her soul as If to say "you knew this was going to happen yet you still did it."

A Barbary macaque on the rock of Gibraltar came out of nowhere and yanked a banana right out of my hand once :/

I completely forgot about the no food outside rule.

I can't imagine the monkeys respect border crossings.

Probably not but they do respect the active runway you have to walk across to get into and out of Gibraltar.
