HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Police say a Florida man was arrested after he stole his neighbor’s pet monkey and sold it, according to WTVJ.
Vanessa Di Gennaro told authorities she was cleaning her house in Homestead, Florida, Sunday and put her monkey, Zoe, in the backyard. When she came out, Zoe, a white-tufted marmoset with a value of $2,900, was gone.
"She's a very delicate animal on top of everything; she's not like a dog that you can leave alone. They get into things, they hurt themselves really easy. You have to watch them," she said of her companion animal, which she got because she experiences seizures and anxiety.
"She's my baby; she's my kid," Di Gennaro said. "She goes everywhere with me. I love her to death."
