No one likes thieves (小偷), but for most people in a town in California, they just laugh when they find that something small is lost. That's because the thief is a cat.
Jean Chu and her family adopted (收养) Dusty as their pet cat a few years ago. Not long after Dusty moved in, the family started finding new things around. One day, they would find a shoe. The next day, there would be a sock. At first, no one knew where these things came from. Soon they found that the things always showed up in the mornings. And who went out every night? That might be Dusty. However, it was difficult to catch Dusty in the act (当场). Soon workers of the TV show Must Love Cats heard about Dusty's story and they decided to make a film about Dusty. They used an infrared camera (红外摄像机). Sure enough, the camera caught Dusty in the act when he brought home a toy.
Soon the film of Dusty became popular on the Internet. The cat is a celebrity (名人) now. People come to Chu's house to get back their things every day. They have become good friends with Chu and Dusty.
