We’ve all heard the term ‘cat burglar,’ which normally describes a burglar with great agility and stealth, but it turns out there’s also a literal cat thief on the loose in a neighborhood in California.
Instead of hunting small mice and birds, this clever cat decided to hunt easier prey, which just happens to be the neighbors’ stuff.
Meet Dusty, Jim Coleman and Jean Chu’s cat. Over the years, Dusty has stolen over 600 items from their San Mateo, California neighbors.
When cameras were finally installed in the neighborhood to find out who was responsible for the robberies, neighbors were shocked to find out Dusty was responsible for the missing goods.
Dusty will steal anything that’s not bolted to the ground, including socks, towels, bathing suits, and children’s stuffed animal toys.
Watch the whole video below to see this criminal cat in action.
