A baboon seen as it climbs inside a car at Cape Point on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa, Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009. Visitors heading to South Africa premier holiday destination during the 2010 World Cup maybe worried about becoming victims of the country's high crime rate but they are more likely to find themselves robbed or mugged by a rather furry kind of felon: baboons.

Top Cutlines:

1. DFO proves that he does indeed need a short work week this week after confusing a thieving baboon in South Africa for an Arizona drug dog — Shannon.
2. Things are different in Arizona. Cars are called “lockers,” and baboons are called “dogs.” It’s all about the lingo folks — CindyH.
3. The girl in the back seat is crying because they found drugs in her locker? Or is the officer about to get surprises as the locker with “drugs in it” actually has a live baboon waiting to get out.
