a lot of people have trained crows to steal money for them… it’s very illegal….
probably not getting cash from restaurant tables.:.
people have also trained ferrets to steal jewelry and used them as burglars….

brb, checking local laws on "training animals to do crime"

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

this is why ferrets are illegal in California

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

I wanna believe that to be true and can't be bothered to look it up. So, I now know why ferrets are illegal in California!

Bummer. What about having a Florida Man?

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

I want to train a common animal to pick locks. Any recommendations?

Raccoons have opposable thumbs and thief masks, definitely S tier lockpicker race

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

I think so too, but how are their teaching skills? I want to cause a multi-generational problem of raccoons robbing vending machines.

yes, get a transparent lock and picks from any large online retailer….
they’re cheap, easy, fun, and drastically increases your chances of survival in a zombie apocalypse

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Alas, possession of lock picks is the crime for my locale. Id love to get into it when i can get put of here tho

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

it’s usually only a crime if you have possession of them while committing another crime…

A black bear in the Adirondacks (her name was Yellow-Yellow) learned and is believed to have taught her cubs how to open BearVault canisters. she was shot in 2012 but Adirondack bears continue chewing through canisters...

Ferret; they have little “hands” (I think)

[–] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Not greentext. Think I found a new career!

This is the worst comic book villain origin story ever

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I wish the crows around my parts would do that. The ones around here just generally act like a menace to society.
