(Thechieftainspear) – An Orange County woman has been joyfully reunited with her beloved Bengal Lynx cat, Clubber, nearly a week after he was stolen from her home. While the cat is now safe, authorities are still searching for the suspect responsible for the bold theft.
Cat Stolen from Driveway
The pet theft took place on the evening of March 21 outside a home in Westminster. Surveillance video captured a man luring the 10-month-old cat from underneath a parked car before swiftly snatching him up and fleeing.
Clubber’s owner, Eva Corlew, later discovered that her cat’s AirTag tracker had been removed and left near her driveway, indicating that the suspect may have intentionally discarded it to avoid being tracked.
Community Effort to Find Clubber
After realizing Clubber was missing, Corlew alerted police, posted online appeals, and went door-to-door in her neighborhood searching for any clues.
