Peter Scott, Cat Burglar

Peter Scott, 'King of thee Cat Burglers'

Peter Scott, Britain’s most notorious cat burglar, recently passed away at the age of 82 and received an obituary fit for those that he stole from in the The Telegraph.  His victims included Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Sophia Loren, and Maria Callas.

“I felt like a missionary seeing his flock for the first time,” he explained when he recalled casing Dropmore House, the country house of the press baron Viscount Kemsley, on a rainy night in 1956 and squinting through the window at the well-heeled guests sitting down to dinner. “I decided these people were my life’s work.” (from the Telegraph’s obituary)
