continuing from the YD threads about this; last week we were warned of a Cocker Spaniel being stolen in the south of the City and an attempted theft from outside a Tesco Express on our estate. As in the previous thefts commented on - the vehicle used was a white transit van.

I keep hearing about thefts too. Apparently a pug was stolen whilst on a walk with its owner :/

Millions of dogs are being stolen every day, this is getting worse and worse by the hour!

Punishments for this kind of crime need to be tougher. Saying that, some owners still need to be more vigilant. I still see dogs left in cars and tied up outside shops! Back in my home town I saw a frenchie tied up outside tesco!!
She was so cute I almost stole her! (not really though)

Police don't seem to treat a dog being stolen any more important than a Tv or Stereo?? It's shocking.

The police treat it terribly I think, they don't take it very seriously. But saying that, if it were a police dog that went missing or was to be stolen it would be ALL over the news and the police would be going mad, the handler of the dog in particular to be reunited with their faithful partner!
I think owners need to take it more seriously as well petitsfilous because a lot of dogs in my area aren't tagged, aren't micro-chipped, aren't leashed when needed to be, left in gardens without supervision for long periods of time, tied up outside shops, and the worst one is that a few dogs in my area (the same dogs too - from different owners) are allowed to roam the streets when they feel like it! The even worse thing is, is that their dogs don't even have a collar on or anything! Grrr, how could you be so stupid though???
IDIOTS these days I tell yah and that's coming from a 13 year old! Jeez Louise!!
