Kitten That Was Inside Stolen Car Has Been Found; Suspect Arrested In Mississippi
September 1, 2022
A kitten that was inside a car when it was stolen Sunday has been reunited with its owner.
The kitten named Hiefer was returned Wednesday night to Lianna Pugh of New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, at the Pensacola Hotel for Dogs and Cats rescue shelter. The kitten was reportedly dumped on the westside and rescued by a good Samaritan.
The man that stole the car shortly after carjacking another vehicle has been arrested in Mississippi.
Pugh left her vehicle running about 10:30 Sunday morning while she went inside to pick up food at The Leisure Club restaurant in the area of 12th Avenue and Office Woods Drive.
According to Pensacola Police, 33-year-old Leif Danenmann stole the vehicle. Hiefer, the kitten, was inside the 2005 Toyota Camry with Pennsylvania license plate number KHG1428.
About 25 minutes earlier, Danenmann carjacked a driver in the area of 1000 West Moreno Street, according to Pensacola Police. The victim was not injured, but the suspect took the victim’s vehicle and left the area. The carjacked vehicle was found near where the second vehicle and kitten were stolen.
Danenmann’s was arrested in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

weird how similar the thief and the man in the picture look …
Patricia if you’re going to let Satan out of the hat then at least read the article.
@ Patricia
It is a violation of this statute is a noncriminal traffic infraction punishable as a nonmoving violation.
Its the owners problem,not yours!
Just like a NMV..their fine..not yours!
So what is your point?
Too many premadonna types!
Taking the trash out
And again, it will s against the law in the state of Florida to leave your car running and unattended.
early life lesson there are bad mean hateful people here too .most here have good hearts .if here on vac. please come back again glad kitten is back!
So happy you and Heifer have been reunited. What a sweet little baby!
Hey Patricia, if you had actually read the article instead of just coming to your own mean hearted conclusions, you would see that she was in fact not instead the restaurant eating. lol
Patricia—She was “picking up” food, she left the car running because there was an animal in the car. Stop blaming the victim! Blame the thief!
I knew that thug dump the kitten. Hope animal abuse charges are put on him. I’m so happy that a good person found the kitten and now back in your arms. Get a cat carrier or a pouch & carry the kitten with you. Don’t leave any animals in a car. Don’t leave your car doors unlocked.
Patricia, the article clearly states she was picking up her food, not having a leisurely lunch inside. Obviously she left the car running because of the cat. When do we stop blaming the victims of crimes and get rid of these bums instead – they will remain a drain on society.for the rest of their miserable lives?
I am so very glad you got your Hiefer back! Wish all the best for you and your family.
Next time think twice about leaving your car engine running while eating lunch.
I’m guessing he had to steal the second car because the first one didn’t have much gas
Aww..I hope your kitty is found safe. What a cutie!
And for the carjacker…hope you get what you deserve since it appears this is your profession of choice. Try getting a freaking job like the rest of us you bum!
Carjack me–you gonna leave with some lead to take home with you.
