A woman from Exmouth has been left gobsmacked after a seagull pinched a full tube of toothpaste from her bathroom.
Anna Ravenscroft-Ward, 45, says she was downstairs when the theft took place yesterday (February 9), but was quickly alerted to the incident by her neighbour who was an eyewitness.
Anna says it's not the first time this taunting seagull has visited her house.
She said: ''It uses its beak to tap on our windows everyday when we are eating.
''I had a cheap tube of Lidl toothpaste, but instead it stuck its head in and pinched the full tube of Sensodyne.''
Anna - who finds the incident amusing - says she is quite sure it is the same seagull who visits the house daily.
''It taps on our conservatory first and then works his way around the house tapping on all of the windows.
''The other day he started tapping on the kitchen window and then tried another window.
''Shortly after I went upstairs and I could hear tapping - he was trying to get in through the bathroom.''
Following yesterday's 'toothpaste gate', Anna said it was her neighbour who spotted the gull sticking its head through the window before flying off with the Sensodyne tube.
She said: ''My neighbour messaged me and told me. I ran upstairs and the toothpaste was gone.
Although she lost a whole tube of Sensodyne, Anna finds the incident amusing (Image: Anna Ravenscroft-Ward) ''I did feel a bit bad for the seagull, I guess they aren't able to feed on as many scraps due to lockdown. They are so cheeky.
''It was a full tube!''
Jokingly Anna said: ''We've called him Steven Seagal - although that's a bit of an old joke.''
After the incident, Anna took to social media to share what had happened.

She said: ''It seemed to get a great reaction and cheer people up especially in these strange times.
''I just hope it has put a smile on everyone's face.
''People should be on the lookout as it [the toothpaste] will probably turn up in someone's garden somewhere!''
Seagulls = Rats of the air.
Pigeons are worse.

Not guilty.
Just sayin’
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Last summer at my buds beach house on Cape cod i was chilling out and cooking a nice big Italian sausage on the grill.
I went inside for 20 seconds to grab a beer came back and the sausage was gone.
no birds in sight either...frigging seagull must have came out of nowhere..
When i was a kid back in the 70’s i used to see seagulls all of the time at McDonald parking lots here in the Boston suburbs.
haven’t seen them since in decades.
I wonder how that changed...
Cutie
And pigeons..
Some years back, I was at a fast food joint and there was a considerable amount of food trash scattered in the parking lot.
This attracted the attention of some seagulls and crows. They were busily picking at the trash, but what was interesting was that they had segregated into two groups, one black and one white, with little intermingling.
Birds are racist, just like people.
THAT illustrates the entire democrat part in one 10 second video.
I am shocked that i have never seen it before..
... prolly circling at 2,000 feet waiting for his chance.
