From News of the Weird in the June issue of Funny Times: "The
Anchorage, Alaska, Daily News reported that customers at a local Costco
store are routinely robbed of large cuts of meat as they transfer their
groceries to their cars ... by ravens. More than a year ago, Olani
Saunoa was buckling her toddler into a car seat when a raven swooped in
and grabbed a package of short ribs from her car. "He had picked up the
entire package," she said. And this year it happened to her again -- a
bird snatched a pack of pork ribs. Other customers are reporting similar
incidents on social media. Rick Sinnott, a former wildlife biologist,
isn't surprised: Ravens "much prefer ... a package of short ribs from
Costco to half of a hamburger bun from McDonald's."
