My sister lost a pasty to one once.
A seagull basically landed on her back, she dropped the food in surprise, and the bird's mate swooped in to eat it on the ground.
A friend lost a pasty to one last year in St Ives. Having lived in St Ives for over 40 years, and being warned by the bakery to guard his pasty closely, and holding it close to his chest as he walked out of the shop. It just swooped right in, grabbed it, and flew off with it. Kinda got to admire the seagull that's able to steal a pasty from a dude with extensive experience protecting his lunch from seagulls.
