This sounds like what happened to a someone who lives in the same neighborhood as I. My neighborhood is gated and when the gate is opened, it is only timed for one car and doesn't reopen like the gates at apartments does. An 8-year-old boy was playing with his puppy outside in the front yard and a teenager (about 15-16 years old) got out of a car and snatched the puppy and left and the boys older brother was able to get the plate numbers and it turned out the teenager lived in the same neighborhood. He was charged with theft of personal property and placed on probabation for a year.
I'm glad that they didn't decide to take the little girl because this would have turned very ugly. I hope they find the thief and bring the puppy back home to the family. |
