Cat Burglar Outed
Britain’s most prolific cat burglar is not in jail. In fact 41-year-old Alice Bigge, spends her time trying to reunite the victims with their stolen loot. Charlie, dubbed ‘Klepto Cat,’ pinches a random array of swag such as rubber ducks and plastic dinosaurs from anyone in the neighborhood. He has brought home toys, cutlery, glasses, and even toy skateboards. Apologizing to the neighbors and their children Alice set up an impound lot on their front lawn to encourage neighbors to retrieve their contraband. The sign on the area says, “Our cat Charlie likes taking things, do any of these things belong to you? If they do, please help yourself!” Alice, of Bristol, first realized her cat was a thief when she woke up one morning and came face-to-face with a toy diplodocus on her pillow. She immediately thought of the movie scene from the “Godfather.” “He brought back a rubber duck recently, which was quite large and I have no idea how he managed that—and got it through the cat flap. “He went through a phase of coming back with those little mini-skateboards.” Charlie brings all of his ‘finds’ back to the Bigges, who took him and his sister Smudge in as rescue cats after were abandoned as kittens.
Alice admitted, “He wasn’t allowed out for three months or so. But as soon as he was allowed out that he began bringing things back. Over the course of a week or so, loads of toy dinosaurs kept appearing in the house which was really weird. I saw a green stegosaurus one day and the following day, I saw a red stegosaurus, and they just kept coming! “He has never caught a bird or a mouse or anything like other cats do… he just goes off and finds whatever he can.” Alice said “I think there’s something about the quest that he enjoys. Whether it is discovering something new or just wanting to please me and bring his family a present. It’s so funny now that people are loving his story because we’ve been laughing about him for over a year.

then…
…let my cat do the rest.
Why don’t cats make good burglars?
They can’t get past the laser defenses.
Why don’t you ever hear about burglars robbing politicians?
Professional courtesy.
I work at a store that was burglarized.
An investigating officer asked me where I was between 5 and 6.
He didn’t seem pleased when I answered: “Kindergarten.”
