I wish someone on these forums had a contact in the News/TV industry! Because if it is her, then the footage from the security cam could be aired in that area.
If it pans out, I have another idea if the above is not feasible. Maureen could get a copy of the tape, and use it to make a small "Ad" that could show in local Movie places. If she took her story to the Manager of her local Theater, surely he would be moved enough to put it on screen before previews. I see local ads at my Movie Theater all the time. It would be so simple to make this ad; it could be either in the form of "stills"/pictures, or a small CD/DVD that she could make at home, and take to the Theater.
ARGH!! I still cannot believe I missed this the whole day. What does everyone think??? Even if the WalMart security tape does not pan out, I would still want to try the above. It's vacation season now - more people than ever are in the theatres, daytime and night! |
I haven't heard from her, i am sure that it must take a really long time to get through the tape. If she wasn't in the tape, I am sure that Maureen is just out of her mind, she said she was contacting all the Vets in that area in the event that a new Yorkie is brought in, he is micro chipped and the Vets will check all new Yorkies.
I think an add in the paper stating anyone who may have bought a Yorkie in front of the Wal Mart Store in Trace? don't remember the town, but anyway who may have bought a young 18 month old 4 1/2 lb male yorkie that answers to ZEKE has been stolen, and the family is missing him so much, he needs medication, so please call and return him for a full refund, and a reward.
I really hope she was able to see the woman on the tape, as the police have not wanted to help, but if they had something concrete they would definitely step in. We have a lot of information, the best is knowing where the lady lives.
Maureen said she has been to her house, and blown a dog whistle and could not here a dog barking, their was a truck in front, she took a picture of the lic. plate, and the fact that she did not here the dog could mean she sold him, or is out trying to sell him. I think we are HOT on the trail, and have so many leads, and so much out there that i really feel in my gut that he will be returned.
I think your ideas are great, and anyone elses would be appreciated! If only we could get it in the evening or morning news. I would think the radio stations would comply, although she may have to pay to get them to announce her story about ZEKE being missing , it would be great as everyone listens to the radio in their car and sometimes at home.
I think every Vet in the area and surrounding areas should be on alert for a male yorkie, with a micro chip, we should find out if he has been neutered, or is in tact. I think her story is feeled with compassion it, and would make a good news story in the local paper, with a picture of ZEKE.
Maybe a PI is important to contact with all the information, or maybe the money would be better spent on radio adds and a t.v. spot. We are all so in to trying to find ZEKE, that i would hate to give up now, we just need some fresh ideas, and to follow through will all the ideas we have, and have been working with. More flyers, More Vets, More shopping mall, with flyers on the windshield, with a picture of ZEKE, and when he went missing, and a reward for his return, and the story about Maureen, and why she needs her dog back so badly, with her health issues., I don't know what they do in Calif. but here adds for lost and found are free in a lot of local papers.
Any way, i'm so glad you are back, all your ideas are so good! I can only be on line till noon, anything i could do from Colo ? I would to do, anything. I feel very helpless. All i can do is pray. And I continue to pray for ZEKE's return.
I am sure Maureen needs help with the distrubition of flyers, if some fo our members in the area and surrounding areas could help with getting the flyers in their areas to Vets, Shopping Mall's, Grocery Stores, Pet Smart, Pet Co. I think she would really appreciate some help, she can not do all this alone, as she also has a family to take care of. So if anyone in her area's are still willing to help I am sure Maureen will appreciate it.
Maybe we should try to raise some money to help pay for the flyers, and newspaper adds. I am will to give a donation, I just need to know where to send it. Maybe we should start a fund.
