A "Cat Burglar" is a term used to describe a skilled thief who stealthily breaks into buildings, often to steal valuable items. The name suggests agility and stealth, similar to a cat, allowing these burglars to evade detection. They typically operate at night and may use various tools to gain entry without causing damage. These criminals often target homes, businesses, or museums, focusing on high-value items like jewelry, art, or electronics. The term has also been popularized in movies and literature, where characters embody the clever and elusive traits associated with cat burglars.
