Thief Steals Giant Inflatable Cat, Caught On Tape

Surveillance footage from a home in Texas recently captured someone swiping a huge inflatable Halloween cat.

In the weeks leading up to Halloween, many front lawns showcase scary décor items. Unfortunately those pieces can often attract thieves.

Surveillance footage from a home in Texas recently captured someone swiping a huge inflatable Halloween cat. The man walked right up to the cat and powered off the fan that was supplying air to it.

After the inflatable fell on its side, the suspect leaned on it and pushed in an effort to get the remaining air out. This wasn’t a quick, two-second type of effort.

It took him some time to get the decoration mostly deflated and he was working right in the victim’s front yard. Once he finally made it somewhat manageable, the male walked off the cat, which is at least twice his own size.

The theft occurred on Thursday, October 9th, at approximately 11:30 at night. The male homeowner didn’t notice his massive Halloween cat was missing until the following morning.

The victim wasn’t sure what happened until he checked surveillance footage and watched as his own inflatable was stolen. The suspect has not yet been identified or caught.

It is known that the burglar drove a white SUV up to the front yard at the time of the theft.
