Chipmunk gets caught raiding bird feeder, guiltily returns the seeds

When a YouTube user finally managed to catch the chipmunk who had been raiding his bird feeder, he never expected the little creature to be so remorseful.

As you can see in this video, the user walked right up to the chipmunk as it sat munching seeds from the feeder. Instead of running off as one might expect, the animal quickly emptied its stuffed cheeks of all the feed it had squirrelled away.

Looks like the little guy felt pretty sheepish about getting caught in the act!
