Japan is known as an international business powerhouse and for it's non-nonsese police force but one thing keeps evading the Japanese: a macaque monkey named Lucky. Her luck ran out on Oct. 18 of last year after she was caught in a residents home in Mishima and her crime spree came to an abrupt end. She is accused of biting over 118 people in addition to being disorderly and stealing food, mainly bananas.
Lucky made her daring escape from Rakujuen Garden in Mishima, which she probably had planned for weeks, when a a zoo keeper who was cleaning his cage took her eye off the feisty little gal for a second and left the door unlocked. Lucky was gone after she looked up from her cleaning duties.
"It was a human error," Rakujuen head of Shizuo Sugiyama (the zoo she was kept at) said in an apology during a news conference held by city officials.
Lucky's was spotted JR Mishima Station and 20 workers tried to capture her but were unsuccessful. It is not known whether she boarded a train, but, if she did, there is no record of her purchasing a ticket.
Mishima City city officials have put out an APB for lucky and have urged residents to stay in doors. As of the time of this report, no new thefts have been reported as Lucky is probably laying low, or, maybe flying high, evading capture by stealthily hanging from trees.
One thing is for certain: Lucky will be captured again. The only question is when, who will be bit and how many more bananas will to be stolen beforehand. The garden she was being held at did see an increase in visitors as a result of Lucky's stay but the monkey was losing hair due to stress from captivity, which probably led to Lucky planning this daring escape.
