This little fella is a thief!
Well, not this exact same squirrel. A different one. But he looked like this!
A couple days ago, I sat in horror (and pure amusement... I must be honest) as I watched a squirrel steal a shirt off the neighbor's balcony. The shirt was hanging on a wire hanger on the back of a chair. He would try to stuff the whole thing in his mouth, as squirrels do when they transport things, and he'd get quite a bit in there before he'd hit his limit and spit it out. Then he'd run to the edge of the balcony and look around to see if anyone was watching. He looked totally guilty. After about 10 minutes, he managed to squeeze the shirt through the top slit in the chair, and miraculously, the hanger un-hung itself. So he pulled the whole thing across the balcony, down the tree, and across the yard to his secret lair. Every few feet he'd repeat the shoving-it-in-his-mouth and looking-around-for-onlookers procedure. Hilarity! I want a pet squirrel. I can teach him to steal clothing!

This little image has started my day off brightly
Sneaky squirrel!!!
In tv we rip off pictures of like-animals all the time. The acceptable phrasing is "a squirrel much like this one." We're so lame.
Ha ha! "much like this one." So stiff! I'd start using it in normal everyday conversation.
omygosh!!! this is hilarious!!! wow! i love squirrel watching! wow. i wonder what he wanted with a whole shirt!? SO funny!
It might have been just as funny if the squirrel didn't steal the shirt but left it there and your neighbor, unaware of the whole incident, had worn the shirt, most of which had been in the squirrel's mouth.
Oh, SO true. I hadn't thought of that. All day long, they would walk around, covered in dried squirrel spit!
My grandpa had a pet squirrel when he was a kid. he named it "friend." isn't that super-adorable? the squirrels here in austin are pretty friendly, but that's because they're fed french fries and nuts by college students.
