Is that a mouse in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

That's what police were asking John Jacobson after he allegedly tried to steal a whole pack of beer from a truck as it was being loaded into a store!

But that's not the bizarre part of the story. Not even close!

At the San Francisco Zoo, a 2-pound squirrel monkey was stolen when thieves cut two holes into the mesh of the squirrel monkey enclosure.

The zoo immediately sprung into action after the theft, starting a search and officially announcing:

"He is a valued member of the zoo, and we wish for a safe and speedy return."

The 17-year-old monkey was spotted by a random person in a San Fran area park. Police quickly reacted and brought the monkey back to the zoo, unharmed.

So far, they have no leads on who stole the monkey.

We're just glad that the monkey is safe and sound, back with all its buddies.

A naughty man stole a Hummer limo and took police on a chase.

When he suddenly decided to ditch the limo (which we're sure was a terrible getaway vehicle) he ran out of the car… butt naked!!

The man ran, fully nude, through a neighborhood until they sicced a police dog on him.

That sounds like the worst thing ever!

A scary police dog running after you, waiting to bite the first part of you it can grab that happens to be at a dog's eye level.

That sounds terrifying.

Check out the above video of the man trying to escape.

STOP! THIEF!!

…said the penguin.

BBC's Frozen Planet has a segment about penguins and how the males build their nests to attract females.

They use stones to build their nests, but one penguin decided to go the easy (and illegal) way and steal his neighbors rocks.

Check out the above video to see one sly penguin thief in action.

In Montana, someone has been stealing horse hair… right off the horses!

A local horse owner said she noticed one morning that her mare's tail was cut short.

She says it looked like the hair thief:

If Cruella De Vil is alive she must be in America.

The number stolen pets in the states has skyrocketed over the past few years. It's not their fur the burglars are after - designer dogs (like teacup yorkies or mini labradoodles) are a pricy commodity, but only if they're alive.

If we are willing to pay more and more for dogs they are more and more likey valuable to thieves.

When Peggy Riley's San Antonio home was broken into thieves took only her computer and her two yorkie puppies. Much like the stylish Disney Villain, these burglars don't have the slightest idea how much
how much a pet can mean to someone.

"The distress has been to such a degree that I can't even explain. It's turned my life upside down. I don't have children so these are my babies."

Explained Riley, who would pay thousands to get her furry family back. Ugh, SO SO SAD!!

There's the numbers of dog thefts according to the American Kennel Club: 2008: 71; 2009: 162; 2010: 255; Jan-July 2011: 224 (150 same period last year).
