The video is widely doing rounds on social media, as people found the incident horrible. Most people highlighted the gravity of the issue as the woman would be legally stuck for a longer period of time, while the rest found it hilarious despite the matter being serious, and cracked jokes on the same. The video was shared yesterday and received 84K views from people.
Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “But aren’t they ‘so cute’?” a user asked. “The monkey knew what it was doing. Evil monkey,” a second person commented. “If that happened to me, I would have begun to cry right there in front of the monkey and the rest of the tourists,” added a third netizen.
“Oh, what a charming little prankster that monkey is! I mean, who wouldn't love having their passport stolen and torn to shreds in front of a bunch of strangers? And of course, the horrified onlookers were probably just amazed at the monkey's resourcefulness and wit. Because nothing says ‘tourist attraction’ like a simian thief running wild. But hey, at least the tourist will have a story to tell her grandkids someday- Remember that time a monkey ruined my vacation?” said another.
“What did she expect the monkey to do? Although very smart not sure if ID Theft is in its vocabulary,” commented a fifth person. “Why have your passport where a monkey can get it,” said the next.
