Security video captured a thief walking into a Los Angeles store on Saturday and stealing the owner’s cat, ABC 7 reported.
Harbin Deer Trading Co. is an herbal medicine store in Koreatown. Owners Andrew Xu and Kelly Kim said their cat MiMi has lived in the store for about 10 years and is loved by customers.
The owners said the thief was pretending to shop before he grabbed the cat.
They noticed the cat was missing after they filled up his food bowl but he didn’t show up.
“I’m really shocked to see the video, to see that person … how easy to just grab someone’s cat … just grabbing it for no reason,” said Xu. “We’re pretty surprised.”
They have since filed a police report.
