A cheeky stray dog was caught on CCTV nicking a man’s phone from a tabletop.
Gilcimar Vaqueiro had gone to the residence to carry out some work.
He’d put his phone down on the table on the porch before going inside.
When he returned later on, he was baffled to find it missing.

So he decided to review the footage from his surveillance camera.
The men were stunned as they watched it back and saw a stray dog and its four-legged accomplice wander over from the street.

After managing the feat, it simply strolls away, taking the device with it on Sunday (28 Jan).
The missing phone was later found close to a nearby football pitch in Angola near Ararendá, Brazil.
Locals say the dog always passes through the area and is regularly fed by people in the community.

Local Josielia, referring to Brazil’s president, wrote: “The dog must be Lula’s, stealing stealthily.”
Carleania asked: “Have you ever seen anything like this?
“Even dogs, man’s best friends, do it. Just imagine what our enemies could do.”
Cleitinho joked: “We need to arrest these dogs too. The law applies to everyone.”
Frederico speculated: “At the very least, someone taught it.”
And Adriano remarked: “If there hadn’t been cameras, they would never have found out.”
