His owners claim that his record spree garnered eleven separate items, and he was once even caught on camera carrying home a bra.
[6] Although his thievery began in 2008, Dusty didn't receive much notoriety outside of his neighborhood until the Animal Planet show Must Love Cats aired a profile of him in February 2011.
The "Must Love Cats" crew was able to set up a motion-triggered night vision camera and catch Dusty in the act of bringing home his spoils.
[1] Because of the kitty-cam footage for the Animal Planet documentary, Dusty's behavior became a bonus feature in a three-minute short on the DVD release for the 2011 movie Puss in Boots.
[5] To keep his fans up to date with his finds, his owners maintained his Facebook page and provided pictures of the items that Dusty brought home.
