My ex had a monkey named Zippie when he was growing up. He'd sneak out and they'd find him at a next door neighbor's house eating sugar. LOL!
Once they lost him and the local news had a spot showing Zippie inside someone's garage and not letting anyone come near him. The town people never let my ex live it down.

He said it was funny, they were watching the news and he yelled, "there's Zippie!".
