A Thief Among Us

I've been missing the cap from a flash drive since mid-summer. I've not been too concerned about the cap, had my suspicions the cat might have batted it off the table, but it was the cap, who cares. I've been missing a flash drive since Iron Cross weekend. I figured it was my normal stellar powers of organization that led to it's disappearance. After I looked in every bag that I take with me to work; in the car; at work; around the house in all the normal places, I started to think that maybe the cat got it too. Of course this is a normal reaction when I lose/misplace something - someone or something else must have taken it so I wasn't really convinced and I figured it was actually gone.

I mentioned the cat thief hypothesis to a friend a week ago and he said, 'Yea right, have you seen your car/workshop/desk/etc.? Its not the cat.' Kris says I'm sort of like Pigpen only it's more mess less dirt.

I finally went on a determined hunt under the refrigerator, stove, radiators, furniture and anything close to cat play level to follow up on my suspicions.

I found:

17 small toy mice of assorted colors

2 large toy mice

1 spring toy

1 puff ball toy

1 catnip pillow

1 pen

1 pretzel

2 hair bands

1 beer cap

2 foil balls

1 Gu

1 moldy pistachio

1 screw on battery cover for a mini mag light

1 USB receiver for the remote computer mouse

1 rubber bumber from something

3 I have no idea

1 rock

1 USB drive cap

and

1 USB flash drive

A very pround Boo is pictured above with his haul minus the shit he already took back out it while I was completing my sweep of the house.

Now where'd I put my keys...
