My baby was stolen - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It was shocking to read how your baby was stolen right from his own yard! I am so sorry that he is gone and no doubt it was all the more awful because you saw it all and I know you are still shocked and hurting so badly! I will pray that somehow this baby can be located and brought back to you.

Sweetie, I took a pic of Hunter when she was younger from your photo album. I posted a notice on my FB page with all the info we have so far. If you have a more recent pic or can think of anything for me to add, just let me know ok?

Praying you have your baby back safely and SOON!

I am so so sorry! I have been in your shoes. I posted this story some time ago but will give you the short version. My little poodle, Katie, was so tiny people assumed she was a puppy until they got up close to her and then it was obvious she was a senior. Some city workers were on my street trimming trees, so they were in my neighborhood for a few weeks. I took Katie out for a bathroom break around noon then went inside for something for 5 minutes and one of the men came in my yard and grabbed Katie during that time. My fence was wrought iron so they saw her from the street and I think they thought she was a puppy. I was devastated, had all my neighbors and friends helping me look for her. I approached the city workers and I always had a feeling they had her, they acted very odd when asked if they had seen my dog. I put signs everywhere within a 10 mile radius of my house with her picture and an offer of a reward. It was the longest week of our life, me and my children were heartbroken. One day my doorbell rang ( 7-10 later) and it was one of the city workmen holding Katie in his arms, he asked for the reward first thing then came up with an unbelievable story that he found her in a ditch several streets away from my home.... Under some brush...yada yada yada.... Katie was very clean - she had not been in any brush!! I am convinced he took her home thinking she was a puppy then realized she was an older dog then when he saw the reward sheet he returned her. I paid him the reward without any questions because we were SO thrilled to get her back!! Even knowing the man had stolen her!!
I will pray for the safe return of your baby! It s frightening how brazen bad people have become! They will walk in your yard to take anything they want!
It is just not right!! Don't give up... Put posters up offering a reward and hopefully that will entice the people to return her...? I pray you get your baby back soon!

I don't know if this has already been mentioned or not but have you tried contacting your local news station ? they might put it on TV.

Verbena · 02-05-2013, 05:23 AM

I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I would go door to door introducing myself. And tell them what happen and give them a flyer. I would tell them your pup needs meds. If it is one of your neighbors friends then they will find out about it and maybe they will do the right thing and get the pup back to you.

navillusc · 02-05-2013, 06:36 AM

You might even put up some signs in your neighborhood, stores, and around town describing what you saw of the car and the situation as a "WARNING...Pet Thieves Drive..." so other pet owners can be on the lookout for 'pet thieves' driving around. Their pets might be next, and if the 'publicity' and 'attention' doesn't 'shame' the thieves into returning your Yorkie, any awareness you can raise in other pet owners may be helpful if those others are watching out for the safety of their own pets, too.

Just FWIW...I am still so heart broken for you and keep checking back to see updates, hoping you have your baby back. {{{Hugs}}}

WOOO HOOO! <----insert Happy Dance someone found her! We picked her up she's safe but sick

They said she followed her son home...saw a sign at the local food store, what a crock! I don't care....I have her....soo sooo relieved. THank you ....Thank you for all your well wishes and guidance.
