Only in Florida: Thief On Police Chase Thwarted By Adorable Cats

Cats will do anything to ruin your day.

Last week, they ruined 21-year-old Daniel Pinedo Velapatino's day. The suspect had just talked his way into a woman's home in Boca Raton, Florida, after leading police on a wild chase from Delray Beach. He may have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling, cute, fuzzy wuzzy cats lying around.

The homeowner, Candace Noonan, thought Velapatino was a landscaper. He knocked on her door last Tuesday to ask for a drink.

"I said, ’Excuse me, can I help you?'" Noonan told WPBF. "He said, 'Oh, I’m so sorry. Next door, I’m mowing the lawn. Do you mind if I have a glass of water?'"

Noonan obliged, unaware that Velapatino had allegedly consumed drugs the night before, stole thousands of dollars from a buddy, and then smashed into a bunch of cars as he ran from police toward her home.

When she returned with the water, Velapatino was lying on her floor, playing with her cats.

I'll keep that in mind next time I'm escaping the law - lie on the floor and play with the pussies - nothing suspicious here.

I hope it was a sealed water bottle. You can't be too safe with these homeowners these days. Especially crazy cat ladies who might go all Misery on you.
