Charlotte - Haha, no rush! Ahh. At least they'd know what they were doing then. Haha!! I do feel wary of any large groups of people, I admit. Luckily we don't see many. I hope that group that approached your brother don't take it further too!
AL - Oh I know they could, but hopefully those facts would deter them.
Gladys - That's a good idea. I'd definitely not make our two sound good if anyone dodgy asked me about them.

It is worrying that stealing dogs is definitely on the increase and not just for breeding. Dog-kidnappers get tempted when they see large rewards offered for the safe return of lost dogs. My sister lives near the Forest of Dean and last year there was a spate of dognapping where dogs were stolen out of gardens and the owner would be contacted and asked to pay a ransom. They were told not to contact the police or they will never see their dog again. - they had to meet the dognapper in the forest and then they would hand over the dog when given the money. How low can some people sink? What would you do in that situation?

I would contact the police and ask for it to be kept quiet. Go and meet the person, get the dog then give the money. I wouldn't give the money without getting the dog back because the person could want the money and still not give the dog back but I would ask the police to follow me secretly in case of an attack, etc. Or I would organize it with the person but then get the police to meet the person - which would be more sensible
