Balinese monkey snatches lady's handbag

Balinese monkey snatches lady's handbag

We are not sure if we want to laugh or cry for these tourists...

Being a tourist can sometimes be hard work. 

With the many things you have to be aware of, it can surely be tiring. One thing that we as South Africans have in common with countries like Bali and other parts of Asia are our clever friends, the monkeys. 

But be warned, not all of these animals play nice or fair for that matter. 

Not long ago, we saw a video of a monkey negotiating with a woman in Bali so she could get her phone back. 

And now we see another video from Bali, but this time it was a monkey that had snatched a woman's handbag. 

For the most part, the woman did not seem phased by the pickpocketeering monkey, but her partner was invested and ran after the monkey to try and retrieve the handbag.

The poor guy! We hope he managed to get the handbag back. We know that when travelling many people carry their important documents with them, so, hopefully they got their belongings back. 

Cheeky monkeys...
