• If a monkey steals something you've got to get back, chase her. Drop everything you're carrying first, for speed and to keep the monkey from stealing anything else. Go as fast as you can and try to keep the monkey in sight. Use the "peek" buttons at intersections to save time in figuring out which way the monkey went.
• Sometimes (rarely) a monkey will simply drop everything she's carrying. Pick it all up and abandon the chase.
• Eventually the fleeing monkey will hole up in a cul-de-sac. Now you can try to get your property back, as explained in the next few notes.
• If you step on a wakeful monkey, the monkey may just run off, or he may steal something else (if you're carrying anything), or he may be startled into dropping something he's carrying. This last is what you want to happen. Keep chasing the monkey; every time you catch up to him there's a chance he'll drop what you want.
• If a monkey is in a cul-de-sac, turn around before you attack. Step backwards into the monkey. This way, if the monkey doesn't drop what you want, you don't waste time turning around to continue the chase.
• Be patient. Sometimes it takes a long time to startle a monkey into dropping what you want.
