Cat Burglar

He ninja crawled across the bedroom in the dark of night, squeezed through a too-small gap in the window, nearly lost the bag of stolen jewelry when it hung up on a tree branch, and dropped two stories to the seat of his Vespa. Alley cats scattered. He kick started the Vespa, but only made it a few feet on flat tires.

Laughter came from the window above.

“You win!” His friend called down from the window. “You would have made a great cat burglar. Except one thing. Those are all paste. The real jewels were under my mattress.”
