Sounds like you are stuck between a rock and hard place...on one hand I want to say go get the dog...as they dont really seem to care anyhow...how heartbroken could they be if their dog was suddenly gone?? On the other hand that IS stealing...I would talk to animal control...ask them if you can adopt the dog if they take the poor thing. Show them your pictures and time frame..keep a log!!!! I wonder if there is anyone that can back up your story from the apartment building? Would you be interested in having this dog for yourself?? I think I would be sitting at the fence when they came home...take some really good pictures of his/her living conditions for proof and tell her you are going to call animal control and the manager. If you are afraid of her hurting your dog..it might be nice if she is kicked out of that apartment!! Wow this is so hard...you must be going nuts!! I know I would probably take it home and ask questions later...
