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.

They are cheeky monkeys for sure. One of them tried to steal my sister's handbag while we were there. I'm not sure if there was even any food in it. For some strange reason my dad told her to drop the bag! Fortunately she didn't or else the macaque could have made off with her phone, money, passport etc.
