"Kleptokitty" brings home objects to his police sergeant owner

Including a bag of marijuana!
All cat owners have "cat problems" they have to deal with. But Oregon police sergeant Dave Kempas has an interesting cat problem he has to handle on a daily basis: his cat steals things and leaves them in his driveway.
 
Kempas has several cats, and he had to set up a trail cam stake-out to find out which of his pets was the perpetrator. Tigger, who is a four year old brown tabby, was caught in the act. 
 
Tigger goes out almost every night and brings things home, dropping them in the driveway on the way in. Kempas lives near a high school, so a lot of the objects are bits of trash and food waste. But Tigger has also found articles of clothing, toys, and - on one memorable occasion - a small baggie of marijuana. ("I told him, you can't be bringing this stuff home!" Kempas said.)
 
Klepto cats are somewhat rare, but they can cause havoc in a neighborhood. I remember reading about a klepto cat whose owners would hold a "reverse garage sale" every few months. They would set out all the things their cat had brought home, and let neighbors come over and reclaim their missing items.
