My wife was actually mugged by a monkey in Ecuador. THey had visited a village and some people bought some of the junk the villagers made. My wife bought a vase, and before they made it back from the village a monkey that had been following htem around ran down from a tree grabbed the package while screaming at my wife who promptly freaked out. The monkey excaped to the tree and promptly destroyed the vase. Who knows maybe he worked for the village to increase demand ;-)
