Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Email Comments More A small monkey, dressed in a shearling-like winter coat, was on the loose outside an Ikea in Toronto’s North York area on Sunday, after letting itself out of its cage and the car belonging to its owners. At around 3 p.m. ET, the diminutive primate was spotted in the store’s upper parking lot, where it was cornered by several Ikea staff members, who also called animal control to come retrieve the monkey. “It apparently let itself out of its crate, opened the car door and went for a walk,” Toronto Police Sgt. Ed Dzingala said. “Smart monkey.”
Should probably go ahead and lock this thread, because you won't get posts better than these two. Not even if we had 1,000 monkeys sitting at 1,000 typewriters. Spoiler It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times
A love that monkey, I love his coat, I love IKEA, and I love basically every post in this thread. What a way to start my day.
I'm completely confused on why someone didn't snatch that monkey up, and take it home. "Well, I actually came for a new computer chair, but who am I to look a gift monkey in the mouth?"
I wish I could like this post at least 10 more times. I also really want to hang out with this monkey.
My first thought as well. He would have went for a walk in the park with me, at least. Imagine the women that would come up to you to look at that monkey.
