Haven't heard any update. I agree that a starting point would have been to question the 'turned down' person.

Actually, a theft from a breeder happened here this year. A person with a grudge against a Tibetan Spaniel breeder entered her property when she was absent. He picked up 2 of her dogs. But as he was struggling to get out the front gate, the tibbies wriggled free & ran off. A woman in a house across the road witnessed the whole thing but she couldn't see his car which was parked in a side laneway.
The breeder & her husband arrived home soon after and the search was on for the 2 tibbies. One dog managed to return home. The other was rescued by people who lived nearby & who were able to get the address & phone number from its tags.
The police were called, but there were no charges laid because the woman who'd witnessed the event couldn't identify the man...she was too far away to take in details of his appearance.
