Il: Dog Owners Beware Of Pet Thieves, Warn Police

[elizabethann]

I saw a show on this (not this particular story). But a woman left her dog on its leash & ran in to a store to get a coffee. She was gone for 2 minutes but her dog was stolen. They actually had it on survelance video. This woman just walked up to the dog, untied the leash & walked away with the dog like she was just walking her own dog.

Luckily, the woman was recognized and someone turned her in and the dogs owner got her dog back. This story ended up being a happy one.

If anybody ever took one of my pets, I'd probably end up in jail.

ok, so no unsupervised playing in the yard for mr. Niño, seeing as this happened so close to us

I saw this story too. I thought the dogs owner was unbelievably stupid
for leaving her dog outside, though I was happy they were re-united.

As for dogs being taken from the owner I find this very SAD.
