Overview
- Leo has amassed around 150 stolen items over nine months, with a single-day haul peaking at nine pieces.
- His loot spans underwear and socks to high-end cashmere sweaters, branded jerseys and even a five-foot-long stuffed snake.
- Owner Helen North posts photos of recovered garments to neighborhood WhatsApp and Facebook groups to reunite owners with their missing items.
- Residents have embraced the feline caper with amusement, though one cat-allergic neighbor now dries laundry indoors.
- Attempts to curb Leo’s exploits—keeping him indoors or offering decoy clothes—have so far failed to stop his thefts.
