Thieving cat gains notoriety for pilfering neighbours' underwear
A 15-month-old cat named Leo, known as 'Leonardo da Pinchy', has gained notoriety in New Zealand 's Mairangi Bay for his prolific thieving of neighbours' laundry.
Leo's hauls include a variety of items such as silk boxer shorts, men's work socks, and a brand-new cashmere sweater.
His owner, Helen North, regularly uses a neighbourhood WhatsApp group and Facebook to try and return the pilfered goods, often posting photos of the stolen items.
Despite Ms North's attempts to curb his behaviour, including trying to keep him indoors, Leo continues his 'one-cat crimewave'.
She says most neighbours are amused by Leo's antics, with some even expressing disappointment that he hasn't stolen from them.
