My friend was broken into twice and both times the breaker-inners gave her standard poodle a steak-cicle right out of the freezer and put her outside to lick it thawed...and took electronics, camera equipment, etc. When they broke into my younger son's house, they took bunches of electronics, cameras, etc. but left the 6 lb. Chi, who was totally freaked out, poor baby, and hid in a back room!

It is difficult, under these circumstances, to know whether the Yorkie is now "lost" or "stolen." I understand why they are referring to her as "stolen" but I think "lost" might be a better condition because she might have a better chance of getting home when she is "found" again where being "stolen" might lead to her being sold to some unsuspecting victim who will have no reason to think of "returning her" to anyone. I am so wanting her to just be temporarily "lost" !

I hope so too... Maybe she just got out and a concerned citizen picked her up? We were broken into over Christmas Break this year, and thank goodness we were gone on vacation and had the pups with us... I was mostly concerned about the cat, but the police were there and while we were on the phone told us "Wow, this is the biggest cat I've ever seen!" so we knew he was okay

I don't know what I would do if my two were stolen... I have a feeling they wouldn't go without fighting because they aren't the best when new people first come over... It's just scary to think about.

I hope Chloe is found soon

This wasn't very far from me at all. I do know that having Troy someone will look to steal him. I hate to hear this for this family. Praying the dog is found soon.

I believe they took the dog. I was reading the the Yorkshire Terrier is number one on the list of dog thefts. I do not leave mine home alone. If I have to it is for a very short time but now I am even rethinking that. I feel so bad for this woman.

This is all very confusing. First they say it was returned and then they say it isn't the right dog!!! How do you make THAT mistake.

Damn!!! Yes, I said it. I don't know whether to be sad, scared, or pissed off at this. I guess I am a little of all 3. That is a damn shame, but I am not surprised. Times are hard and people will do whatever to get money.

I know I have to be careful since I live in an apartment complex. My boyfriend was taking CoCo out for a potty break when some random guy approached him and started asking questions about her. Then he went on to say how expensive Yorkies are and how he tried to get one for his girls, but the breeder wanted $1200 and that they are so expensive and kept on talking about how cute CoCo was.

FYI - I have a taser and I know how to use it!!!

That is so heartbreaking. I hope little Chloe will be returned.
