CHONBURI — 24 February 2026, A 32-year-old man has appealed for information after his three-year-old Scottish cat was allegedly stolen by four youths who arrived on two motorcycles in the middle of the night. The owner, Wisit Sihaphan, posted on Facebook under the name Min Wisit, offering a reward for information leading to the cat’s return. He said he would withdraw his police complaint if the animal is brought back, but vowed to pursue legal action to the fullest extent if the suspects are identified or arrested. The incident occurred in Soi Bansuan Prayasatja 5, Moo 4, Bansuan subdistrict, Mueang district, Chonburi province. Speaking to reporters at 20:30, Mr. Wisit said his female Scottish cat, named “Dollar”, usually slept in front of his house. When she went missing, he checked security camera footage and saw a group of four young men, believed to be about 18 years old or high school students, riding two motorcycles into the alley. The footage shows the group carrying a black bag, which Mr. Wisit believes was intended to hold the cat. The suspects allegedly placed the brown-patterned Scottish cat into the bag. As they rode away, the cat jumped out near the entrance of the alley. The group stopped, put the cat back into the bag and fled towards Bang Sai and Khlong Tamru in Mueang district. Mr. Wisit said he believes the suspects had previously seen the cat in the alley and returned specifically to steal it. He has filed a complaint with Mueang Chonburi Police Station and urged the perpetrators to return the cat in exchange for the withdrawal of the complaint. Otherwise, he said, he would proceed with legal action. Anyone with information about the missing cat is urged to contact the owner at 095-969-1356. A reward is being offered for information leading to the cat’s recovery.
