    <P> HELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish squirrel with a sweet tooth
heads to a Finnish grocery shop at least twice a day to steal
"Kinder Surprise" chocolate-shelled eggs.<SPAN id="midArticle_byline"></SPAN></P><SPAN id="midArticle_0"></SPAN>
<P> "I named it the Kinder-squirrel, after the treats. It
always goes after them, other sweets do not seem to interest it
as much," the manager of the store in Jyvaskyla, central
Finland, told Reuters.</P><SPAN id="midArticle_1"></SPAN>
<P> The confectionary, which is intended for children, has a
toy inside.</P><SPAN id="midArticle_2">

<P> "It removes the foil carefully, eats the chocolate and
leaves the store with the toy," Irene Lindroos said.</P><SPAN id="midArticle_3"></SPAN>
<P> Unfortunately, the bushy-tailed thief does not clean up
after itself, but leaves the wrappers behind, she added.</P><SPAN id="midArticle_4"></SPAN>
<P> Squirrels have a well deserved reputation for being clever
and adaptable animals. Many a home owner has seen the small
rodents raiding their supposedly "squirrel-proof" bird feeders.</P><SPAN id="midArticle_5"></SPAN>
