Monkey menace is common in Indian cities like Mathura and Vrindavan. There have been several incidents where monkeys, known for their mischievous behavior, take people's personal belongings and have to be persuaded or bribed to return them. In a similar incident, a monkey stole a man's iPhone in Vrindavan and what happened next was quite funny, to say the least. A video shared on Instagram claims that the incident took place on January 6 at Sri Rangnath Ji Mandir in Vrindavan.
The video begins showing two monkeys sitting on top of a structure, with one of them holding a man's expensive iPhone. Meanwhile, a crowd can be seen gathering around him, trying to help the man take his phone from the monkey. They make a deal with the monkey by throwing a packet of Frooti at it. As soon as the monkey gets the drink, he quickly drops the phone. An alert person on the ground quickly picked up the phone,
A video of this incident was shared by user Vikas on Instagram with the caption: 'Vrindavan's Monkeys'. iPhone sold in one frooti.”

The video has sparked amusement and hilarity online, with many saying that monkeys have become quite intelligent because they have learned to steal phones and glasses to bargain them for food. Many also shared similar experiences.
One user wrote: 'It's called the barter system.' Another said: 'Monkeys have new ideas about how to get food.' A third said: 'It's about knowing how to swap something the monkey likes.' '
A fourth added: “Vrindavan monkeys are the best traders.” Some called them “schemers” and “professionals.”
A similar incident took place in Bali a few months ago, when a monkey gave a woman's phone back only after she offered it two fruits.
