A cat in California has been caught on camera stealing over 600 items over a three-year period from neighbours' homes.
Neighbours have renamed Dusty the cat "Klepto the cat" after he was videoed by a night-vision camera carrying everything from a bath sponge and a toy dinosaur to a bikini top down the street in San Mateo, south of San Francisco.
Dusty's owner Jean Chu told ABC News that he leaves at night and "usually comes home with an item or two".
Items he has brought home include towels, gloves, shoes, socks and children's toys. Dusty even took a pair of shoes, one at a time.
"He took my mum's swimming clothes," added one neighbour's five-year-old.
Dusty's record is 11 items in one night.
Infrared video of Dusty showed him carrying a string of stolen goods in his mouth, including one item of clothing so big that the cat's feet were splayed as he hobbled along the sidewalk.
