Seagull steals GoPro

[electrotor]

Found this on RC Groups. It doesn't really fit into any obvious Forum heading.  :+
The question is, how did the owner manage to retrieve the the camera and footage? ;D

Try Dyce if you want ground attack seagulls. They nest on the roofs of the industrial buildings and get very upset if you want to cross the car park to your car.
My late Twinstar has flown with them at both the mouth of the Don and Collieston. They maybe can't roll or loop but these guys know how to maneouver.
I know what you mean about their toilet habits. A lot of guys going offshore park their cars in the industrial estate around Dyce Airport for two weeks at a time. Taking Police advice about parking in a well lit area, this guy parked under a lamp-post. This very lamp-post was also a popular seagull perch. We also had an unusually sunny spell which had a baking effect on the stuff. I'd love to have seen the driver's face when he returned to his vehicle.
