WARNING... New WAY TO STEAL YOUR YORKIE Hello I was talking to someone in the store who came up to me to see my yorkie. Long story short.. he told me of a "rash" of yorkies that have been stolen(this is in the Miami area) from people WHILE they are walking their dogs. Someone will come up to talk to you (distraction) while the partner will cut the leash and run off with the dog. I can't imagine it, because I am very aware of my guys.. but I don't have any reason he would not tell the truth. I just want everyone aware. Thanks |
Thanks for putting he war if out there. I guess we'll have to start dressing our babies in tees that say, "I'm spayed/neutered" to try to deter such thefts. It's so sad we can't even take the babies out for a walk anymore. |
Wow. That is good information to kmow and I bet he was telling the truth. Some people will stop at nothing to get what they want. |
Wow, that is insane! I would have never thought of someone cutting the leash. Some people are disgusting... I could not imagine this happening :( I always make sure people who are interested in my dogs know they are spayed/neutered. I think it makes them less valuable to people who want to steal them. I will definitely be more aware when walking them now. |
People can be so ruthless:mad: That is a bold move on the thieves part. Making away with someone else's dog from a simple walk is disturbing. People are so money hungry it is awful. I think having your dog microchipped is very important. It is also very important to know your surroundings and to be careful who you talk to. If someone is paying too much attention to your dog, get out of there, fast. |
It sounds a lot like the purse thefts that happen where they just cut the strap and run. It really makes me hate people. Sadly, I don't think the spay/neuter shirts would deter people who just want to flip them on Craigslist. :mad: |
Crazy! Maybe we should go to handcuffs and a chain leash? |
Lock and Load... |
my li'l one never leaves my arms or hubbys i never let her walk when we are out she is only 3 pounds so its in my arms |
:eek::eek::eek::eek: What is wrong with people!! No more leash and harness. Only in my arms! |
wow people will stop at nothing to get what they want!!! im glad i never let my babies out of my sight |
:eek: Wow, that is just awful....yet one more scare with our babies. Thank you much for sharing so we can all be much more alert :thumbup: |
That is unbelievable! I remember reading (maybe on yt) that some people were afraid to walk their yorkies (also pugs) in their neighborhood because apparently someone watched where the dog lived, broke in and stole him. The post (article) said it was safer to put your dog in your car and drive to a park or somewhere else. |
Just plain sick.....I sure hope they can run fast cause if I catch up with them the He's will be she's!!!!!!!:mad: |
