1. Do you live in England?

Feline sock thief

The owners of a cat with a passion for socks are leafleting their neighbours in the Loughborough area to see if they are missing any.
Henry, who is now a year old, has taken at least 57 socks although it is still unclear whether he gets them from washing lines or people´s houses.
He is often seen on a wall near his home with the hosiery in his mouth.
But owner Louise Brandon said they had so far been unable to reunite the stolen socks with their owners.
She said: "People must be going and replacing the socks because now we´re getting new ones.
"But no, there just seems to this endless supply of neighbourhood socks coming in and we don´t know where they´re coming from. So it´s a bit embarrassing."
Her four-year-old daughter Eloise added: "He steals socks every day."

3. He looks just like my dear Eddie (RIP) who, when he was a kitten,

would sort through my laundry basket (before washing) and deliver the t-shirts to my bed, the socks to the couch, and the panties to the front door. I always had to check for underwear before entering if I had somebody with me.

2. Pat down the dogs.

When we took in our first Malamute, we suddenly noticed we were missing a lot of socks. Months later I happened to catch the thief red-pawed stealing socks out of a laundry basket full of freshly folded clothes. He stuck his snout in the basket, managed to take just one sock out and ran to hide it under the cushion of our living room chair. When I lifted the cushion to retrieve the sock, I found at least a dozen more socks.

I still have no clue why he used to do that.
