Teacher baffled after eggs vanish overnight, finds out thief was a crow
Boggled by the mysterious burglary of his tray of hard-boiled eggs, a schoolteacher in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, put on his detective glasses to investigate the case.
However, he was stunned to discover that the culprit was not a person, but a crow.
Teacher questions staff and students
Anuwit Tiamkrathok, an art and music teacher, said he regularly boils eggs in large batches for convenience, Khaosod reported.
On Thursday (23 April), he left a tray of hard-boiled eggs in an uncovered pot outside his room to cool overnight.

However, when he checked on them the next morning, every single egg was gone.
Puzzled by the disappearance, Mr Anuwit began questioning staff and students — but no one admitted to taking the eggs.
He initially suspected a stray dog, but ruled it out as the pot had not been knocked over.
