... in Marinette, Wisconsin

Getting your daily fix... Seagull
A seagull in Marinette, Wisconsin has developed the habit of stealing snack chips from a neighborhood convenience store. The seagull waits until the manager isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.

Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.

The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store and helped himself to a bag of Doritos. Since then he's become a regular. And he always takes the same type of chips.

The Manager thinks it's great because people are coming to watch the feathered thief make the daily grab and run, and that's good for business, and especially since customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of chips because they think it's so funny.

However, the Manager did say, "This is Wisconsin , and if that seagull starts to grab a 6-pack o' 'Bud' to go along with the Doritos, I may have to put a stop to it."

That is funny.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people will consider training their pets to steal for them.

Great. Hurrah for the gull, although his choice of food is questionable.

I wonder if I could trust my cats to go down to the grocery store and bring me back a few steaks.

He must be a busy Seagull, because he was stealing from a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, back in September!

And if you look closely at the lottery sign in your clip Shelagh, you will see it is advertising the UK lottery, not the American lottery! Me thinks someone has hijacked the clip!

... so if the seagull landed in Wisconsin ... he took the shop with him. Clever. Now folks in Marinette can buy a UK lottery ticket.
