Cat Burglars
Is this why the term originated
Suspect One is known only as Denis:
Suspect Two is known as Theo:
You can see it in their eyes can't you!
They may look innocent enough but these two felines are responsible for a mini crime spree in the east of England.
Christmas is a gift for Theo, a three-year-old Siamese cross belonging to Rachael Drouet and Paul Edwards from Ipswich.
He is a seasoned cat burglar, regularly bringing home "treasures" from neighbours' houses.
Denis's penchant for purloining pants is matched by his love of shoes, paintbrushes and Barbie dolls.
Mrs Newman believes Denis climbs up neighbours' rotary washing lines and pulls items of clothing off before carrying them home through his cat flap.
Denis has successfully avoided being caught on film.
But this year, Theo has really got into the spirit of Christmas.
He has forsaken his usual diet of clothing, phone chargers and other cats' toys for a selection of Christmas decorations which his owners believe he is pilfering from their neighbours' trees.
Exhibits 1 and 2 in the case against Theo:

Have you ever had a pet that brought home more than you expected

I had a dog once that nicked me joint of beef from the worktop !
Never did figure how she got up there - it didn't happen twice !
I had a dog that stole (and ate) a piece of beef off my worktop too! I had gone to collect my son and husband from the swimming pool and when I got back, the beef had gone
Thieves - the lot of them

Re: Cat Burglars
When I was a child, we used to go on holiday every year to Perranporth with an aunt, uncle and my two cousins and we'd stay in a caravan on a site. Our dog, Tiger, would steal people's joints of meat and bring them back to the caravan my mother used to be horrified but my Uncle Len would shout at Tiger saying 'we had chicken last time you fool, look for the beef'

Re: Cat Burglars
Yes, lovely memories of holidays there - we went every year until I was about 15.I made the huge mistake of going back there about 20 years ago to the same site - it looked awful, crowded and neglected. I made a decision then to leave memories intact.
Fabulous beaches though.
