the habit of stealing

A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a
neighborhood shop.

The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking, and then walks into
the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.

Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.

The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped
into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland, and helped himself to a bag of chips.
Since then, he's become a regular. He always takes the same type of chips.

Customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of chips because
they think it's so funny
