A Seagull has been banned from a convenience store for the crime of shoplifting.
Seriously, I can't make this up.
A shoplifting bird nicknamed "Steven Seagull" has been banned for flying off with bags of potato chips for over a six-years.
This happened so frequently that the staff at the store, put up posters asking customers to "close the door" behind them, as the manager of the store, said Stephen has made off with 30 bags of chips in the past two months,
"Trying to explain to the powers that be that I've got stock loss because of a seagull - they think its a joke." Stuart Harmer said. "Comes in the shop when the doors open, puts his head around the corner of the door, nicks a packet of crisps and flies off with it".
Apparently, Steven is particular to BBQ flavor (and who isn't).
Once he gets outside, Stephen uses his beak to open the bag and eats the chips with his other bird friends, technically making the experience a bird BBQ.
Management has attempted to stop the thief, the team put out a selection of spicy flavored chips, but Steven ignores those and still finds his favorite.
Can't pull one over on Ol' Steve.
