Эксперты в области уголовного права считают, что самым курьезным и оригинальным преступлением в Минске была серия квартирных краж с использованием сиамского кота.

Как сообщил Sputnik источник с многолетним опытом работы в криминальной милиции белорусской столицы, в конце «лихих» 90-х минские оперативники задержали группу квартирных воров, которые действовали с помощью сиамского кота. Животное было «натаскано» на доллары, которые были смочены настойкой валерианы. У кота вырабатывался устойчивый рефлекс на «валериановую валюту». Предприимчивые домушники по объявлению в газете находили состоятельного продавца, покупали у него вещь за доллары с валерьяной. Во время отсутствия хозяина они отмычкой открывали квартиру, запускали туда «ученого кота», который через считанные минуты, не нарушая порядка в квартире, находил все деньги. По словам собеседника агентства, это преступление не имеет аналогов в мировой криминальной практике и должно войти в учебники по криминалистике.

Criminology experts believe that the most peculiar and original crime to ever take place in Minsk, Belarus, was a series of apartment burglaries with the help of a Siamese cat.

As a source with many years' experience working in the criminal division of the police in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, told Sputnik news agency, in the late "adventurous" 1990s, the investigators intercepted a group of burglars who used a Siamese cat to help them. The animal had been "sic'd" on dollars which had been moistened with the tincture of valerian. The cat formed a steady conditioned reflex to "valerian currency". The enterprising house-burglars would find a well-off seller through an ad in the paper, and would buy the item from him, paying with the valerian-tinged dollars. During the absence of the owner, they would open the apartment door using a lockpick, and would send their "learned cat" into the apartment. Within but a few minutes, not causing any disarray to the rest of the apartment, the cat wold find all of the money. According to the agency's source, there has never been any similar crime in the world, and it should have a place in the textbooks on criminology.
