Monkey Steals Tourist's Phone, Leaves Behind Selfies
A British teenager's phone was stolen by a monkey at Bali's Uluwatu Temple, but he recovered it to find the primate had recorded videos and taken selfies.
A British tourist's Bali trip took an unexpected turn when a local monkey snatched his phone and left behind videos and selfies.
In mid-June, 19-year-old Lloyd from England traveled to Bali, Indonesia with his girlfriend, but encountered an unforgettable experience when a local monkey stole his mobile phone right before his eyes.
The couple visited Uluwatu Temple, one of Bali's most famous attractions. Lloyd was taking photos of monkeys to send to friends when he lowered his phone. His girlfriend immediately shouted a warning, but before he could react, a monkey quickly grabbed the device and ran away.
After the monkey fled into the nearby forest, Lloyd and his girlfriend sought help from local staff and used location-tracking apps to find the phone. After more than an hour, officials successfully recovered it.
However, the story didn't end there. When Lloyd checked his phone, he discovered the monkey had recorded one video clip and taken multiple selfies, leaving him both amused and astounded.
Lloyd recalled that before the incident, his girlfriend had jokingly said, "Maybe the monkey will use your phone to take selfies." He never imagined her playful remark would actually come true.
