You've heard of cat burglars.
But some felines prefer joyriding, it seems.
This marmalade moggy was caught red-handed apparently attempting to steal a shopper’s motorised scooter.
The moggy was caught with its paw on the accelerator of a womans scooter
Teresa Green, 50, spotted the furry feline – who is known to frequent Wallington Square – committing the purr-fect crime when she returned to her scooter after leaving Peacocks on Monday.
Mrs Green, who owns the Woodcote Flying Club, Wallington, said seeing the cat burglar was “the cutest thing ever”.
She said she often spotted the purr-petrator in the area, adding: “He often gets into the basket, the cheeky little thing.
“I’ve been seeing him wandering around here for the past 18 months or so.
“He’s so friendly. Lots of personality. Always wants a stroke.”
Mrs Green added that although the puss had its paws on the accelerator, she was not scared it would speed off on her scooter
