A prolific cat burglar has stolen hundreds of precious possessions from homes near San Francisco.
But police are staying off the case — the burglar really is a cat.

Owner Jean Chu tells the San Francisco Chronicle he has pilfered gloves, towels, shoes and more since she adopted him from the Humane Society.
Dusty has a special love for swimsuits. Neighbor Kelly McLellan says he stole her bikini — on two separate trips. She said he appeared focused on keeping the ensemble.
Experts say Dusty's predatory instincts have gone astray, leaving him hunting for people's stuff.
