Mortified pet owner tries to return gloves, bras and designer shoes stolen by cat

The mortified owner of a thieving cat has posted snaps of the purrloined goods in a bid to return them to neighbours.

Feline felon Harry comes home every night with swag swiped from neighbouring homes.

Items he has stolen over four years of raids include designer shoes, a purse, packets of sausages and underwear.

In the past week alone Harry has taken six items from neighbouring washing lines and homes in Darley Abbey, Derbyshire.

Now owner Donna Hibbert has posted photos of the items on Facebook page Spotted: Darley Abbey. She said: “I was concerned about some poor person thinking, ‘I’m sure I put these out on the line’ or ‘I had these in the house and they’ve vanished’.

“Our neighbour saw the Facebook post and said, ‘They’re mine, I thought I was going mad’.

“There was a red shoe, and it was quite an expensive brand. The sports bras are from M&S. We had a purse but nothing in it.

“I think cats like to bring treats. It’s more often objects than birds or mice, which I’m grateful for.”
