Scare for Alica Schmidt! The athletics beauty was robbed on the beach in South Africa. The thief: a "cheeky" monkey.

"We have the beach to ourselves," wrote Alica Schmidt, who was named the "hottest athlete in the world" a few years ago, in her Instagram story. Unsuspecting anything bad, the German ran into the sea with her teammate Nadine Reetz after a training session on a beach near Cape Town. The two athletes filmed themselves. But then came the moment of shock ...

"Hey! Hey!", they both shouted and sprinted straight out of the water. The reason: a monkey was rummaging through their bags on the beach. "Has he got my cell phone?"

"He's sitting there with our food"
No, luckily the car keys and valuables were still there. "He's sitting there with our food and indulging himself. That's cheeky," said Schmidt, who was able to laugh again.
