This cat, adopted from a shelter years ago, is a real cat burglar. He goes out at night and steals from the neighbors - esp loves swimsuits!
Animal Planet put a camera outside his house to watch him bring home his booty. The video is pretty cute - news video with clips from Animal Planet. http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/07/klepto-kitty-dusty-gives-back-stolen-loot-to-neighbors/
This is just too cute, in my opinion. We used to have a klepto crow in the trees in my parents' yard. LOVED car keys and foil. Everyone thought I was making it up until the day his nest tipped over because it had too much stuff in it! (Luckily no eggs or babies at that time!)
But I had never heard of a cat that stole, esp not so much stuff! Talk about great neighbors - they just go ask for stuff back when they realize it is gone. Otherwise his people try to find where it came from.
