Not since the Hamburglar has a thief taken his profession so darned literally.
Police in Connecticut are on the lookout for a cat burglar who snuck into a hotel room and actually stole a cat.
The break-in occurred Sunday in Shelton, Conn., at the Hilton Garden Inn. Police say a pair of expensive bags – one Gucci, one Fendi – were taken along with the occupant’s hairless cat Princess.
The total value of the items stolen, including the follicly-challenged feline, was $8,500, according to the Shelton Police Department.
The room showed no signs of forced entry.
Investigators say they have photos of a possible suspect as well as the vehicle believed to be used in the robbery. However, so far their search has come up empty.
Anyone with information can contact the Shelton PD at (203) 924-1544.
