Remember when I called that lady back that called you and told you she thought Yoshi was dead on the side of the road and my husband called your Police Dept and asked someone to go knock on her door? Well she might have been the one to steal him and then got scared so she sold him or gave him to someone who moved to CA.. Or she could have sold him and shipped him there..You never know but it is not impossible that it is him....I don't know about microchips but if you microchipped him with one company and someone stole him, could they microchip him again with another company and yours not pick up? Or if they reregister him in their name, do they get a new microchip number? |
