Leonardo da Pinchy terrorises NZ city in cat crimewave
Most cat owners scare their pet mice, while a New Zealand family faces a more unusual shame: the cat is a productive thief.
The fifteen-month-old Leo, known as Leonardo Da Pinchy, became a local celebrity in the Gulf of Mairangi, the Auckland coastal suburb for unstoppable “One-Cat Cruumawave”.
And it has an expensive taste. Frequent draws include silk boxer shorts, thick male business socks and a mortification section for people, a brand new NZ300 (A274 $) Cashground sweater.
Leo’s owner, “My daughter was sick at home and I was” bad, bad, the worst thing she brought, really bad, “he stole.
“Because it was nice. ‘Ooh, can I hold this?’ But I could not.
Instead, North returned to a neighborhood WhatsApp group to return Leo’s stolen goods to rights holders. The usual message: “Are these your underwear?”
However, stolen storage continued to collapse: socks (heaps), underwear (loads) and even a filled snake (strange).
On a record -breaking day, if you didn’t perceive a mixture of everything from baby clothes to male clothing, it has returned with nine products that were enough for a complete outfit.
North, “This morning at 8 in the morning brought a uniform.” He said. “Even shops were not opened.”
When dozens of items were not requested, the embarrassing owner took Leo’s victims more broadly this month and published photos of his spaces on a local Facebook page with an apology and address.
Northern anger is waiting for Leo’s cat Burgling antiques – one of the goals of cats allergic to cats, now drying his laundry inside.
“All our neighbors think it’s incredible,” he said. “Some of them are quite revealing because nothing actually steals.”
Nevertheless, North tried to prevent his cat’s laundry obsession, from trying to keep him inside, to leave clothes at home to play. No chance.
“He just wants things he shouldn’t have, dedi he said, and he also added that he didn’t want to risk an online suggestion that Leo needs another playmate.
Leo’s criminal life began when the first time was allowed outdoors a year ago. But his family hopes that this will be just a child’s stage.
“I hope it grows up because I don’t want to do it for 15 years, North North said. “This is too many managers.”
For now, on the streets of the Gulf of Mairangi, Leonardo da Pinchy remains generally.
