A woman was left with a broken heart after a monkey stole her mobile phone and then broke it to pieces.
The Kuwaiti woman on Umra, or mini pilgrimage, in Saudi Arabia, had her mobile phone destroyed, when the monkey snatched it from her hand and ran away before it hit the ground and broke into pieces.
The woman was recording nature with her mobile phone while enjoying a picnic with her family in the hills surrounding the western Saudi city of Taif, when a monkey came out of nowhere, grabbed the phone and ran.
"I have lost all the phone’s records after it was broken," she said.
This was not the first time that a monkey caused problems. As we reported earlier, a police officer was attacked by a monkey after he tried to issue a speeding ticket to the monkey’s owner. The incident was caught on video, according to video uploaded to the internet.
The rookie police officer received a nasty surprise when the monkey bit his hand after he tried to hit its owner with the speeding ticket.
It seemed that the animal did not appreciate that the South Texas police officer, Keith Moore, giving its master the fine and decided to take revenge.
A video camera attached to the glasses of the 21-year-old Aransas Pass police officer recorded the moment the monkey grabbed the pen from his hand and bit him.
"We have been taught to be on guard at all times, but at that time I was not on guard for a monkey," Moore said.
"I was not angry. I was more shocked and surprised than anything else," he said.
Although the attack left a mark on the hand of the law man the officer managed to see the funny side of the episode and later joked about it with his co-workers.
We're not sure if the monkey, which is said to have appeared at carnivals and is usually very friendly, will face punishment.
Moore said that now, he will know to be more careful when approaching cars in the future.
