SUNSHINE AVENUE, SMALLVANIA was rocked last night by a spurt of high-profile burglaries. Police are investigating paw prints found at the scenes of the crimes, where several possessions were stolen as toys slept.
The Meow family have been particularly affected by the news. Monsieur Meow, who works at the Bramble Department Store cafe, said he could tell people now viewed him 'with suspicion' just because he is a 'cat'.
'I don't see why the fact I'm a different species makes me more likely to commit a crime. Why do they call the culprit the cat burglar anyway? I find that phrase offensive to cats!'
Allegations of racism aside, all residents of Toyland have been alarmed by the recent news and the fact that the police have yet to make any arrests. Former policeman Elmo said he wondered whether the cat burglar had 'good reason'.
Local freelance illustrator and Lady High Personal Advisor* to the King, Marissa Cooper, 21, said 'I'm worried our house is gonna be burglarised! I'm concerned about potential burglarisations!'
Anyone with any information about the burglaries should contact the police immediately.
