The weekend before Christmas the year I got Tibbe, 2 people got out of the backseat of a car in the alley and started for my back gate, walking fast, looking right at Tibbe who was about mid-yard and barking at them. When I saw what was going on, I stepped from the recesses of the Utility Porch and out onto the back porch and the man and woman ran and got into the car, the driver burning rubber to get away. I KNOW those people were going to steal him and did not notice that the back door was open and that someone was watching. It was cold out and I had stepped back inside in the dark so they could not see me and thought Tibbe was out alone. That car had 4 adults in it and not kids. Always wondered what else they could have had in mind if not dogtheft but they did not stay around to explain, in any event.
