It may turn out they're horrified their dog has escaped. Dogs are notorious for "not" escaping" when the owners are home and when they leave...they find a way out to "find" their absent owners, thus he may never leave the yard whenever they're home. Repetitive escapes after you know you informed them then warrants a call as once they have to pay a big fee to get their dog back they will probably fix its escape hatch...or leave it at the pound. I've had to call on a couple actually vicious dogs (wouldn't let us leave the house to go to our car/trapped for a couple hours in my house it was like a bad B-movie) - in my area they are slow to respond and I've had to "lie" (as I would never harm a dog) and imply to them I would to get them to act. Hopefully you won't have to resort to threatening.
IMO
