As the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in lockdowns of much of India, monkeys, who are common on the streets of Delhi are rapidly becoming a nuisance.  Normally the streets of Delhi are filled with people who regularly give food handouts to the Rhesus Macaques who live there, but now without their regular food source, the emboldened monkeys have resorted to sneaking into homes and stealing food and personal belongings.  What's another name for a thief?  A Jackroller!

Recently a lab assistant from the Meerut Medical College in Delhi was attacked by a group of monkeys who ran off with some patient coronavirus test samples.  Fortunately, the monkeys weren’t able to get into the sample packaging and left them on the ground under some trees. What’s another word for taken aback?  Sharooshed!
