Scotland Yard's finest detectives are on the lookout for a chimp that's hardly a simp. The London swinger is way beyond the "fitting square pegs into square holes" stage; he knows where you keep your cell phone. The purloining primate climbed through the ground-floor window of a London man's flat, snatched a $150 cell phone from his bedside table, then made a lope for it. No bananas were taken. Law officers think this same ape broke into another house earlier that morning and tried to take a DVD player. The peanut butter was left undisturbed in the pantry. Police think the hairy cat burglar is a pet programmed to steal.
