A mate of mine used to work for western power as a meter reader in Freo.
He decided one day to go for a surf at lunch time, parked his car and was getting ready and chucked his keys on the roof of the car. Just as he went to grab his keys to lock up a seagull swooped down and picked them up and flew away, he had no chance of getting them back. Stunned at what had just happened he decided to go for a surf anyway.
Back at the car he scammed a bit of change from a walker to make a phone call, to his wife who didnt believe him. By the time she had come to get him it was three hours later and his boss had been ringing him all afternoon trying to get hold of him.
His boss didnt believe him either, he was lucky to keep his job.
Funny thing is all his mates believed him, we know him well
