Hahahahahaha I've just read this story, so sorry if it's already been posted.

Shoppers visiting an Ikea outside Toronto, Canada, yesterday afternoon were treated to the usual sights: couples bickering over soft furnishings, shoppers stuffing meatballs into their mouths, a monkey wearing a sheepskin coat — wait, what?

Toronto Police Staff Sgt Ed Dzingala revealed the monkey was a pet whose owners left it in their car while they joined the herds perusing Scandinavian-inspired flatpack furniture.

After breaking out, the "smart monkey" was spotted in the Ikea parking lot and confined by staff until it was captured by animal control officers.

The critter was returned to its owners unharmed, though apparently a little "scared" by its 15 minutes of fame

People owning monkeys and dressing them up is just a bit too weird for my liking.

Poor thing,they are not Pets! They should be in a social group etc of their own kind,not some substitute kid for stupid arsed humans.

I agree with the comments about they should not be pets, they shouldn't be. But sadly they are in some cases.

But come on, would you not have at least rubbed your eyes in disbelief if you's seen little Del Boy Monkey running around Ikea?

IT was on the breakfast news that the monkey (5months old) has been taken to a primate sanctuary or something like that and the 'owners' charged for keeping it as a pet.

Wonder if the other monkeys are jellus of his coat?
