| Why Pay When You Can Steal One? Had an interesting conversation (actually unnerving) today in a store and thought I'd share. Husband and I were in a clothing store w Gidget in her bag. We were at the counter paying the bill, when the clerk asked if she could see our pup in the bag. We showed her Gidget. She started talking about how her daughter wants a yorkie but she doesn't know if she should get one. We told her a little about the breed. She said she thinks she will wait a while. Then she told us about another customer who brought in a maltese. She asked her how much she paid and where she got her. The woman told her she paid $4000 at a local pet store. She asked us if we paid that. We told her to buy from a breeder if she eventually buys and avoid ped stores. She said why pay the $ for these little dogs when she can just steal one off the street and noone would ever know it wasn't hers. Husband and I just about fell over!!! We were speechless! We said we wouldn't really recommend that and hurried up and got out of there. No wonder the # of dognappings has gone up 50% if this is ppl's attitudes! She didn't seem phased at all or embarrased that she had just said that - unbelievable!

| This is the attitude of those who are taking our babies! No morals or feelings - just take what you want.

| OMG ! I am appalled, even if it was a joke it was not funny. I really think the law should have much more serious penalty for pet napping. Pets are not simply property ! Wow maybe I am overreacting but, I feel physicaly sick thinking about this. |

| I wonder how she would have felt if you would have "just stolen" what you purchased. She'd be pretty ticked if you said "why should pay all this money when I can just take it"....What an idiot! |

| People can be so disgusting. Makes you want to hold onto your dogs a lot closer. With attitudes like that.
