Speedy the kleptomaniac cat terrorises Swiss town

Residents in the small town of Wiesendangen, Switzerland, are being plagued by a cat burglar of the four legged variety.



Margrit Geiger’s cat, Speedy, has spent the past three years roaming the neighbourhood bringing back a wide array of items including badminton shuttlecocks, gloves, scarves, shirts, and even a woman’s bra. Geiger says Speedy is currently fond of underwear and black socks.

Geiger says Speedy has stolen at least 100 items, adding, “It carries everything through a hole in the shed, through the attic, straight to my son Daniel’s room. Daniel is its absolute favourite person.”

The problem has become so bad the family have posted notices in town saying, “Help! Our cat steals!” and asking neighbours with missing items to come to their home to see if Speedy was the culprit.
