We used to live in my husband's ancestral house together with his 2 sisters. Since their parents were in the US, we occupied the master's bedroom where there is a good view of the gate. The boy neighbor had 2 young pigeons that he wanted to train for racing. But when his parents disallowed him, the boy asked a favor from my husband so he can temporarily keep the cage in our front yard. Okay, granted.
After a few days, my husband was cleaning our bedroom when he noticed 2 boys of about 10 to 12 years old throwing their slippers over their head and higher and higher until one slipper dropped inside our property. After looking around, one boy opened the gate and entered, followed by his pal. And they went straight to the pigeon's cage. But before they could open the cage, there came my husband and collared the 2 thieves.
After the boys admitted their sinister motives on the pigeon, my husband offered a deal. The 2 boys stopped crying and hastily agreed to clean our yard. And after 1 hour, they were free again.
