It started with him stealing a workmans trowel as we walked past a few months ago. I heard someone shouting 'Missus', behind me and saw Luika happily cradling it in his mouth with his tail wagging. Obviously we gave it straight back.

He has since taken a child's ball, bread from the ducks, a bread roll from a neighbours shopping bag and today he made off with a large marrow bone while we were down the town. Luckily I caught him today since I wondered why people were pointed at us and laughing!!! I had no cash on me, so couldn't pay for it, so made Luika give it back to the nice stall holder.

Does anyone else have these problems?

He was a stray for years so probably had to steal food.

He was so clever,he worked out how to open cupboards,the fridge etc.
I was doing our sandwiches one evening for school and went for the cheese,it wasn't there Dad was annoyed,he told me he had brought a big block of it,so he came to investigate - no cheese but a nice piece of clingfilm stuck to the kitchen floor.
He also had the ham which was quite salty and eat that, and drunk loads of water,he then cocked his leg up Dad's bed during the night

In the end we had to get fridge locks,cupboards locks, the works
