Capture and relocation of alpha macaques in Lop Buri resumes Monday
A tailor has offered a 300-baht reward for the capture of an alpha male monkey, dubbed “Chipped Ear” and notorious for stealing women’s underwear.
The reward offer has been widely shared on social media. The tailor said that “Chipped Ear” is identifiable by an old injury on his ear. He often steals things from his shop, particularly women’s underwear hung out to dry on a balcony.
Then the monkey will toy with the stolen items until they are damaged and then he abandons them.
