Cleveland Catches Cat Burglar with Litter Box Prank

Cleveland Catches Cat Burglar with Litter Box PrankCleveland Catches Cat Burglar with Litter Box Prank In a bizarre turn of events, the Cleveland Police Department apprehended a suspected cat burglar thanks to an ingenious litter box prank. It all began when 65-year-old homeowner Emily Jenkins reported a break-in at her residence. Police arrived to find a shattered window and several missing valuables. Determined to catch the perpetrator, Jenkins devised a clever scheme. She filled an empty litter box with catnip and placed it in a conspicuous location within her home. The plan worked like a charm. The sweet scent of catnip irresistibly drew the suspected burglar back into the house. As he approached the litter box, Jenkins sprang into action and locked him inside. The burglar, a 27-year-old man named James Carter, was found writhing in agony as the catnip particles irritated his sinuses and eyes. Police officers arrived promptly and took Carter into custody. “It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen,” said Detective William Davis. “We had to remove him from the litter box with tongs.” Carter confessed to the burglary, admitting that he was lured into the house by the irresistible aroma of catnip. “I couldn’t help myself,” Carter said. “I just love the stuff.” Jenkins, who has a soft spot for cats, said she was relieved to have caught the burglar in such an unorthodox way. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” she said. “But I’m glad I did. It shows that you can’t always outsmart a clever cat owner.” The incident has become a local legend, earning Jenkins the nickname “The Litter Box Lady.” The arrested cat burglar, James Carter, was charged with burglary and possession of catnip.
