Keith, a five-year-old cat from Christchurch, New Zealand, seems to have a habit of stealing stuff that do not really directly relate from him for the past three years.

This time, however, he flabbergasted his owners by taking home a bong and a plastic container bag found to contain an unknown powdery substance.

Ginny and David Rumbold, the cat's owners, has said that the kitty has previously managed to bring home a lengthy list of missing property, which would include black-laced undies, corsets, footwear, and sometimes even live eels from Christchurch's Heathcote stream.

A neighborhood tradesperson's steel-toed footwear is a personal favorite of Keith. Notwithstanding the fact that the individual is bearing down his work boots with fluorescent green 2.5-kilogram body weight, Keith manages to squeeze them back to the house - each footwear at a time.

A deputy sheriff notified the New Zealand-based local news site info that his branch was "attempting to play cat and mouse with this illustrious wrongdoer."

Security forces, even though, refrained from commenting on the unknown origin powdery substance.

A Cat Steals Undergarments and Shoes From Neighborhood

"Keith has a thing for footwear, he absolutely adores branded sneakers which includes the known brands like Nike or Adidas. He also has a thing for pretty ladies' swimsuits, protective clothing," Ms. Rumbold explained to media.

Keith had pretty much abandoned a set of underwear on the couple's backyard gate.

"I told him precious stones and liquid assets would have been preferable, but this has not actually occurred yet," Ms. Rumbold remarked.

The Rumbolds have opted to storing their cat's inadequately gains in two plastic canisters on their front doorway, where neighbors can come and get them. Restoring the items, however, has diminished in deterring Keith, who has a history of taking a same object repetitively.

Keith was also "imprisoned" by his owners; however, the animal became enraged and gotten rid their Christmas tree bare, scattering ornaments throughout the residence.

The Rumbolds were compelled to draw an official apology note to their neighbors before collecting Keith's loot and storing it in two distinct compartments.

Local residents, according to Ginny Rumbold, were much more bewildered than irritated by the cat's kleptomania. Keith's new observations, however, have come to the attention of government municipalities.

They were once again instructed to search the large containers for any unusual items Keith might well have forcibly taken from family members.

The neighbors, on the other hand, are trying to take it in stride and appear to be unconcerned.
