Cleo the cat has quite the reputation and his list of victims keeps growing.
He steals anything he can get his paws on - including bath towels, clothing items, and even a computer mouse!
Owner Jeanne Wheat became so embarrassed by Cleo's actions that she started washing the stolen goods and putting them outside with a sign for her neighbors.

Yet, everyone in the neighborhood loves him.
"They just think its great... funny," owner Jeanne Wheat told KENS 5 News.
Still, Wheat has made several attempts to persuade Cleo to abandon his criminal lifestyle.
"I chastised him a little bit, kind of thinking maybe we could break the habit," she said. "But then I realized it was a losing battle."
Watch the video below.
"He has no remorse, but I apologize on his behalf" - every cat owner ever, actually.
