Actor Lee Gye-in (74) revealed his baffling experience of being a victim of theft at his country house in Namyangju.
Appearing on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star,' which aired on the 28th, Lee stated that he had suffered a break-in at his 400-pyeong-sized country house located in Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province.
Lee, who raises chickens at home, recalled, "When summer comes, I have to collect 50 to 60 eggs every day." He added, "I had set up a nest under the silk tree, but when I went out in the morning, there wasn't a single egg left."
He continued, "All 60 eggs disappeared overnight. They took my food supply," and said, "I decided I would have to catch them on CCTV (closed-circuit television)."
The identity of the culprit caught on CCTV was none other than crows. Lee revealed, "They don't just steal them. When they open their beaks wide, two eggs fit inside at a time." He explained, "After putting in two and flying away, the next one comes. That's how they stole all 60."
He even claimed to be under surveillance by the crows, complaining, "There is a utility pole in front of my house. When I come out, it seems the crow calls its companions. Several stand in a row and glare at me. It's like they are asking, 'Why don't you give up the eggs?'"
Yuk Jung-wan, who was listening, said, "Crows come for revenge," and revealed that he had once chased away a crow with a long stick, only to have his daughter chased by a crow later.
Upon hearing this, Lee suddenly put on a serious expression and confessed, "I did something bad. I did." He continued, "When a crow was sitting on the utility pole, if no one was passing by, I would pick up a stone and throw it at it," worrying, "Will it remember that? Will it?"
In response, Yoo Se-yoon jokingly said, "It will come for revenge," to which Lee retorted, "I guess I have to move. Where should I report this?" eliciting laughter.
