It's good that we are informed of it, but it's like advertising for the crooks. 
Cindy, I never would have imagined you having those kind of ideas!  |
I think you are absolutely right. Crooks look for stuff just like that. See what is hot, what sells good, ect. Doesn't take a lot to figure out that if the papers are saying wow, these puppies can go for up to $2500, that someone is going to get the idea to steal one. Easy fast cash, and not very traceable. Even if they sold the puppy fir dirt cheap (couple hundred) there tons of people willing to buy a little yorkie out of the back of a car with no papers what so ever.
