Coolio is safely home. The 7-year-old monkey sneaked out of his cage 
and ran away from his Fountain Hills home last week because he could.

He used a key to unlock the front door of the house and is quite 
adept with screwdrivers and other tools. Gone for three days, Coolio 
raided neighbors' cars for goodies, including potato chips from one 
and Chapstick from another. He left a trail of empty water bottles 
filched from garages and took frequent respites in a wash.

Finally he surrendered to his owners, Danny and Krishna Almond, in a 
neighbor's driveway. They gave him a bath and put him to bed with his 
teddy bear. He slept through the night.
