I installed a hidden camera in my store when products started mysteriously disappearing—and what I saw left me completely shocked 😨😱
I had dreamed of running my own business all my life. No startup capital, no investors—just me, my hands, and a huge dose of determination. After many years, I finally opened a small grocery store.
My employees were kind, trustworthy people I had known for years. Together we had survived crises, power outages, and demanding customers. I didn’t just consider them colleagues—they were part of my family.
But then strange things started happening.
At first, a few bananas went missing each day. Then apples, pears, and mangoes. Someone seemed to be choosing only the ripest and most delicious fruit. I thought maybe it was a storage mistake, or an accounting error. But no—the missing items became a regular occurrence, increasing day by day.
I talked to my staff, but they all swore they weren’t taking anything. They were so convincing that I began to doubt myself. Had I forgotten something? Was I mistaken?
Finally, my patience ran out. One evening, after the store closed, I installed a hidden camera. I didn’t tell anyone—not even my best seller. I wanted to know the truth.
The next morning, I watched the footage—and nearly dropped my phone in shock. I thought my employees were stealing, but the truth was far more astonishing.
On the screen, I saw a small figure cautiously enter through the back door—which had apparently been left unlocked. And there it was… a real, fluffy monkey with expressive eyes and a long, agile tail!
She wasn’t just a random visitor. First, she peeked around to make sure the store was empty. Then she quietly walked to the fruit section, carefully selecting her “treats” like a true connoisseur.
She snapped off a banana, sniffed it, didn’t like it, and tossed it aside. Then she found a peach, sat between the crates, and began eating it carefully.
Whenever a worker walked by, she darted behind boxes, freezing like she was playing hide-and-seek. Once alone again, she continued her “tasting session.”
On the footage, she ate:
– Two bananas
– Half a pineapple (yes, she clawed it open!)
– An avocado (took a bite, discarded it)
– And pears—which seemed to be her favorite.
I watched the video again and again—first in disbelief, then with a small smile, and finally I couldn’t help but laugh. This cheeky little thief had been making “raids” almost every day, and we never suspected a thing.
The next day, I arrived at the store early and stood by the back entrance. And guess what? She came. Confidently, unafraid, as if it were her own home. She stopped, looked at me, and seemed to frown.
I handed her a banana.
From that day on, my store not only has a great team, but also… a monkey named Fru-Fru. We made a deal—she no longer steals, and I leave her a little fruit every day.
