Sneaky monkey: The cunning male baboon Fred clutches Hazel Murray's handbag at Miler's Point, South AfricaHere's one cheeky monkey in definite need of an Asbo (that’s an Anti-Social Baboon Order).
This cunning adult male, known as Fred, strolled up to a car, opened the door and hopped in the back before making off with a handbag - to the shock of the British tourists inside.
Light fingered: Fred opens the rear door of the tourists' car...The bag belongs to Hazel Murray, 71, who was on holiday with her brother George Cox and his wife Jacqueline in South Africa.
They were visiting Miller’s Point, near Cape Town, when Fred - who has become so used to humans that he has learned how to get into their vehicles in search of food - swung into action
and pilfers Mrs Murray's bag and looks round while she and her brother George stand either side of the car 
Disappointment: After his daring theft, Fred learns the bag contains no food and allows the Millers to retrieve it‘I looked in the rear view mirror and this huge baboon was sitting on the back seat next to my sister,’ said Mr Cox, 60, from Bridport, Dorset. ‘It was massive and its teeth were huge.’
Luckily for Mrs Murray, she was reunited with her bag after Fred inspected the contents and then discarded it after deciding there was nothing worth eating.
