Just what is so sweet about eating fruits from our neighbours' properties?

Children often delight at the satisfaction of plucking overhanging fruits from neighbours' properties.

This maybe considered petty theft in many countries but children often get away with it.

There is no harm done unless the fruits are grown for commercial purposes.

But what happens when there are grey areas on the issue?

For instance, yes, the trunk of the fruit tree is on your neighbours' property but fruit-laden branches overhang your compound.

That is the predicament Ms Ida Odinga's family found itself in, going by a video shared on social media.

Ida, the wife of powerful politician and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, just couldn't resist the temptation.

In the video, she can be seen plucking fruits from a neighbours' tree whose branches hang over her fence.

Her daughter is seen laughing at her cheekily as she digs in for the forbidden fruit.

It is not clear when the video was recorded.
