A spate of thefts has hit Bedminster, carried out by a notorious cat burglar whose territory is the area around North Street.

Homeowners near the Old Bookshop have received the following note from an apologetic Rich and Soph, who have a “growing horde” of swag half-inched by the notoriously naughty Norris.

Dear neighbours,

This is a slightly embarrassing note to have to write but during his travels throughout the neighbourhood our cat, Norris, has brought back an assortment of items. Unlike most cats, Norris isn’t too interested in the local wildlife but has taken to straight up theft. In some cases he’s literally been there and got the t-shirt.

At first, when it was the odd dish cloth it was fairly amusing but recently his habit has intensified and we now have a growing pile of stolen goods which need returning to you good people of Bedminster.

We have a range of t-shirts, jumpers, slippers, socks, oven gloves, bath mats and boxers.

If you’ve ‘misplaced’ anything of any monetary value and would like it returned then please give us a nudge on [email] or [telephone number]. We’ll have a dig through his growing horde and drop them back to you.

Apologies if you’ve been affected.

Best wishes,

Rich and Soph
