Subject: Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/20/07 at 9:22 am
A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop and helping itself to crisps.
The bird walks into the RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen when the door is open and makes off with cheese Doritos.
The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.
Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: "Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps."
The bird first swooped in Aberdeen's Castlegate earlier this month and made off with the 55p crisps, and is now a regular.
Once outside, the crisps are ripped open and the seagull is joined by other birds.

You know what's funny? When I saw the topic in the list, just based on the title I thought it meant "crisp" as in sharp/smart. ;D It wasn't until I read the article that I remembered potato chips are called crisps in the U.K.
And yeah, the actual story is humorous too. I wonder if he really "knows" or if it's merely coincidental, lol.

Over the Christmas Holiday I saw footage of another (different) seagull stealing crisps from a shop, so is this inbred in the seagull's nature?
