Dusty, a cat who hails from San Mateo, California, is making headlines as "klepto cat". See, Dusty steals things. He cases yards and houses in his neighborhood and just takes stuff. Neighbors thought there was a cat burglar on the loos, and they were actually right.

Over the course of three years, Dusty has stolen over 600 items. Some of the things that Dusty the Klepto Cat has stolen:

  • Women's underwear
  • Children's toys
  • Car-wash mitts
  • Towels (hundreds of them)
  • Clothing
  • Men's underwear, too
The TV network Animal Planet recently captured night video of the sticky-clawed feline in action. Dusty has a long history of scouting the neighborhood for loot.
