| Armed Home-Invasion Robbery to steal Yorkies... Okay, so I do not know if someone posted a thread on here already about this but...Last night I saw this on Fox 11 News and I could not believe it!!! Home invasion Robbery to steal Yorkies... When they aired part of the video I was in shock...this is the breeder I got my Trini & Coco from and later got my Gracie from. They are good people!!! I feel so bad I am choked up everytime I think about it. So, I called her and got the whole story and I want to share it with you all... Last Thursday, they recieved a call from potential puppy buyers that seemed kind of suspicious. Kelly, did not want to give her address out! She told them her general area and to call when they would be on their way. They called her back on Friday and told her they would be there around 7:30pm and she gave them her address. Kelly had plans for later that night and as 7:30 pm came by nobody showed up. Her friends got to her house and as she was getting ready, at 8:30 the 2 men (if you could even call them that) finally showed up. They intercomed her to tell her they were there but she told them it was too late and they had to come another time. Unfortunately, her father had intercommed them in from the other room. One week before this Kelly's family had installed video survailence on their property... Next thing you know they had pulled guns out and told everyone to get on the floor and proceeded to pull out a large black trash bag and throw the 4 puppies she had in the living room into the bag. I even saw this part on the news. They told her to put the dog in her hands down and she begged them to leave that one, that it was her pet and they could take the pups but leave Tan-Ja. They took the gun to her head and told her to put her down and so she did and they thre her in the trash bag as well and then they left. The police, of corse, were called immediately and got there in 10 minutes, which is not common for Los Angeles. The robbers left fingerprints on their furniture as they had touched the leather couches and the police say it is hopeful they will catch the suspects >90% but they may never find the puppies or her beloved pet Tan-Ja. I can't help but tear up when I write this to you or when I think of poor Kelly and her pain and her family's pain. But I had to share... This is so sad and scary...

| This is one of the most horrible stories I've ever heard...it's bad enough people don't respect other people's property but to go into their house and take the equivellant of their children it's disgraceful |

| I just saw it on the news this morning! How Horrible and scary! This is one of the down sides of the breed being so popular and expensive. I sure hope they catch these jerks!

| I am going over there on Saturday and she will show me the whole video so I can keep an eye out as well. I am so broken for her...I do not think Tan-Ja was the mom of those pups but I know she was her loved pet and went everywhere with her. It is sooo sad! The video took a little while to open up for me too...just keep it there...

| OMG.. what the family must be going through. and the poor dogs.... It's Sad.. they will probably never find the dogs. But, I hope they find the Thugs, lock them up for a very, very long time. This is the scary part of being a seller...you never know who is coming to your home.. |
