Um, no... That's a Scottish Highland Games event, so he'd have stolen a kilt, not a "cilt."

I agree. My mind automatically interprets that letter-grouping differently, as explained in this thread >>>

I live in Canada (not spelled with a 'K') and my father's side of the family is Welsh, so spelling 'cilt' with a 'C' seems more natural.

The Welsh "borrowed" the garment entirely - what's one more letter to take with it?

There is no k or q in the Welsh alphabet.

There's also no woolen pleated unbifurcated garment anywhere in Welsh history... until very recently, anyway.
So, if the Welsh are going to borrow the garment, why not borrow the letters with which to spell the name? English borrows from many languages, including Spanish, German, Portuguese, et cetera ad nauseam.
If one were to actually post a message in Welsh, then I wouldn't have a problem with the spelling.

The guy who got his 'Cilt' stolen, his father's, aunt's, cousin's, grandmother went to Wales once, so the spelling is justified.
