Talk about revenge being sweet. The gent, @jonesmphahlele, posted his video on TikTok. He was tired of the funny monkey business of having his grub nicked by the primate, so he devised a devious plan and swung it into motion. He placed two naartjies on top of a lunch tin by the door.

The animal came monkeying about, thinking he would steal the food. His plan was foiled as the door was closed and he could do nothing to reach the food that was so close and yet so far. Frustrated, the fellow decided to give up on his mission, signalling to his partner in crime that their plan had gone out of the window.
