Monkey business creates a headache

A resident surnamed Tu has had difficulty catching a wild monkey that occupied his courtyard for two months in Guangzhou's Tianhe district. Tu caught the monkey once and put it into a cage, but the clever animal escaped the next day, and Tu has had trouble catching it again. The monkey was constantly pilfering the food of Tu's chickens, riding Tu's dog like a horse and damaging fruit trees in the courtyard. The police said they would deal with the case only after Tu caught the monkey again.
