Stop Thief!

Back in Oz we have a nice orange tree which when I left had thirty or so oranges ripening nicely. I've been hoping they'd be perfect for eating when we get back.
We also have plenty of sulphur crested cockatoos flying about:

The connection is this e-mail our good friend and neighbour sent this morning:
Today, I have been watching from our patio a white cockatoo picking your oranges and flying away with them.  As you won't be back at Terrigal for a few weeks, is it OK if I pick them? ( instead of the cockatoo)
Whichever way, I'm not going to enjoy them.
