I agree with filing a police report for the reasons above. If something more were to happen or if it is happening somewhere else, knowing about it will help them. We had something similar going on a few years ago and the police in our town were happy to take the report and even increase patrolling on our street.

Really though, dogs (esp. Yorkies) shouldn't be let out alone even in a fenced area. We have had quite a few thefts not far from here - out of yards when the dogs were out for just a few minutes or whatever. Not worth it.
