Gloves, knickers, laundry and small garments went disappearing in the small enclave of Portswood, a suburb of the southern English coastal town of Southhampton. As the number of thefts increased, police were befuddled.According to Reuters, the culprit has been caught and it’s a kleptomaniac cat with a generous nature.Oscar, a 13-year-old feline, wanted to show his stuff to his new owners, Peter and Birgitt Weismantel."He started bringing socks home a few months ago and then gardening gloves which we tracked to our neighbor," Weismantel told the Southern Daily Echo newspaper. "Then we had a situation in which he brought back young women's underwear.""It began to escalate and I telephoned the police as people must have been missing clothes, especially with women's underwear being taken."The couple adopted Oscar from Southampton's Cats Protection charity during the Christmas season. In order to show his thanks, he pinched builder’s gloves, a knee-pad, a paint roller, rubber gloves, and 10 pairs of children’s underwear."He brings them back as presents," Birgitt told the Echo. "We can't give him back now as he makes such an effort with all these gifts. He's got a lovely personality and is a very loving cat. "I think we fell in love with him before he started taking all these things. It was just so touching to see him come home every day with something for us."
