GDPR Rules Thwart Warren in 10-Year Cat Disappearance Mystery
Microchip records traced Binky after 10 years, but police are investigating a possible theft and keepership may transfer on May 5.
- After 10 years missing, Warren Croft's cat Binky was located near London, yet the owner cannot retrieve her. Croft originally lost the Persian and Burmese cross in Paignton, Devon.
- Binky disappeared from Warren Croft's Paignton, Devon home on April 14, 2016, prompting a search with a £500 reward. Croft believed the cat had been stolen but lost hope until a recent notification.
- The current possessor claims they found the stray in 2019, three years after Binky vanished, and disputes the microchip records. Warren Croft rejects this account, noting less than one per cent chance of a microchip being misread.
- Cornwall Police are investigating the case as a potential theft, while keepership transfer is scheduled for May 5. Devon's Hector's House Cat Rescue stated they "will not accept this quietly" supporting Croft.
- The Pet Abduction Act allows up to five years in prison for pet theft, though Government regulations regarding GDPR currently block Warren Croft from accessing possessor details. This legal barrier complicates the reunion.
