UNBELIEVABLE! Yorkies Stolen! This was in my local paper this evening...how horrible! Seven dogs stolen from York woman Daily Record/Sunday News Article Launched: 08/16/2007 09:48:48 AM EDT 9:48 AM Aug 16, 2007 — Seven dogs - including four, newborn Yorkie puppies - were taken from a home in York sometime Wednesday. Sylvia Grovell told police someone forced their way into her home in the 900 block of West Princess Street sometime between noon and 3:45 p.m. Wednesday and took more than $4,000 in dog cages and dogs. The animals include: four, small, black-and-tan puppies, which were 3 weeks old; full-grown male and female Yorkies and a female mixed Yorkie and Chihuahua. Seven dog cages also were taken. Anyone with information is asked to call city police at 846-1234. :cry2: My heart breaks for those poor babies and I feel so bad for the owner. She must be out of her mind with worry. The crime rate is out of control in the city but this is ridiculous! |
How terrible!! my prayers go out to the family! |
What is our world coming to? I can't believe the number of home invasions & thefts of people's furbabies when they are out for a walk. Makes me nervous. I was thinking about getting one of those pet rescue stickers for my windows in case of emergency - but that would tell even a stranger there were dogs/cats inside! These poor people! |
That is horrible,I cannot imagine what she is feeling,the not knowing!Hopefully they can find them and they get returned. I do not think anyone would be able to take ours they would have one heck of a time for mine are very protective and do not like strangers,takes them awhile to come and just investigate new people here. |
That's awful. Is there nowhere you can be safe? |

is this a new thing that been going on or have there always been this many stolen yorkies? how sad that people would do such a thing. |
Those poor dogs must be frightened out of thier minds as well as the owner's who must be sick with worry. I swear nothing just is not safe today. Your children can't play outside in their own yards and your dogs can't go out alone either. Who would have ever thought the day would come when children and pets would be stolen! I am so glad Buddy is a larger Yorkie because the thiefs want the smaller ones. They bring in a fast buck so the can stick crack up their nose or shoot it in their arm. Mean while people are sick with fear and worry over their beloved children and pets. It's just so frightening. |
Stolen Pups Thats horrible! More and more stories of stolen pups - its alarming. Im thinking of getting a new security system in my home for that very reason. I would die if I came home and found Meka gone! Whats wrong with the world :confused: |
Something else to add to my paranoia scrapbook! :( I have a YRK decal on my car - I hope no one knows what it means!! |
Wth????? How does one go in to a house in the middle of the day and take dogs and several cages without anyone noticing? Maybe they dont have close neighbors or they all work. This is terrible and I was going to get a license plate that says yorkies on it too but not now. I have V make me some business cards and I put my address on them so now I need her to do some more without it on there. I dont know what people are thinking stealing new born babies on top of it. I hope they got momma too. |
Is this the same story that the women posted last night on here, where her soon to be ex husband had come into her house and stolen the mother dog and pups, these were also yorkies . |
if i breed dogs i would NEVER let people know where i live now.. This is just Crazy..what is the world coming to. Seriously! i just got my other two microchipped so if they are stolen(i hope that never happens) i can at least flag them as stolen. I feel so sorry for all the people that have had to go through this. I can't even imagine what it would feel like |
Its so sad and so scary. Its happening so much lately!! We got Avery at the Beginning of June and her dad was stolen from the breeder's backyard around Mid-June. I felt horrible for them.. Luckily they were able to keep one of the new puppies(Avery's brother) but still.. Stolen right from their backyard. (She said it was probably because people knew she had puppies and had gotten her address(They knew she had Yorkies.) Guard your lil ones.. better to be safe than sorry. (My heart goes out to all the people who have recently lost their lil ones, especially the ones one here!! :( ) |
It's things like this that is causing us all to not go on a vacation without our babies or if we do, we are just worried sick about them. I don't think our babies should be left in the yard unatended for this very reason. If we have to go someplace we can't take them with us, then keep then in the house without access to the outside. Mine are outside as well as wee-wee pad trained for these reasons. |
:cry: I'm so sorry for the family:( Prayers going up that the dogs and pups are returned unharmed.:hands: |
Oh my, this is scary and disturbing! Especially since I am not very far from them. I hope the puppies are ok! |
I can't believe how many dogs get stolen! It's like an epidemic lately!:mad: |
Terrible, just terrible! We have to be vigilant around people, we understand the majority are good people, but there's that 20% that we have to be aware of! I just got back home from walking boo bah at the park. This mom and dad with a child, asked if their daughter could hold my dog. I said "No, my puppy is very nervous around people she doesnt know" and kept walking. Also, I made a comment about two days ago that this woman was crossing a major boulevard in Van Nuys, California. This guy, walking fast, as she described, attempted to yank the poor pup from her arms. She managed to kick him and start screaming and scared the perpetrator off. Unfortunately there wasnt a cop around to see this crime. There were a whole crowd watching but no one wanted to get involved. :eek: I can defend myself in public, I have never been accosted, thank God, but there is always a first time. Let's keep our eyes and ears open when we are out and about with our little ones! Thanks! The Van Nuys Police headquarters was just 2 blocks away from where this happened!!:confused: |

I live not far from York, PA and this story was on our local news channel. WGAL. They were going to give an update on their 6 p.m. newscast but I had a errand to run and didn't get to see it. :( I hope it's on their newscast again at 11 p.m. I know they have a website, I think it's just www.wgal.com in case you's want to see an update. |
Here is an update on the stolen dogs. Stolen puppies recovered; two adult dogs still missing BROCK PARKER The York Dispatch Article Launched: 08/21/2007 10:53:53 AM EDT Thieves broke into her York City home and stole her seven dogs last week. But Sylvia Grovell said she's recovered five of her dogs, including four puppies, and she's working with police to get the other two. "I hate what they did," Grovell said of the thieves who took her dogs. "I hate what they did to me, and how they made me feel, and what they put my dogs through." Grovell, who lives on West Princess Street, said she discovered someone had broken into her home last Wednesday afternoon after she went to buy a playpen for her four Yorkshire terrier puppies. When she didn't hear barking when she returned home and her key didn't work in her door, she knew something was wrong, Grovell said. Inside her apartment she discovered her puppies and their parents, Sarah and Buster, both Yorkshire terriers, were gone, as was her Yorkshire-Chihuahua mix, Delilah. "They were like my kids," Grovell said. "I was sick. I didn't know what to do. I got myself together and I called my landlord and police right away." But within a day, someone at a local pet store who'd heard about the stolen dogs on television reported that someone had called the store trying to sell four Yorkie pups and an older female Yorkie. Grovell said the man from the pet store told her that three days before her dogs were stolen, a woman called the store, saying she had four Yorkie puppies she wanted to sell. When the dogs were delivered to the pet shop Thursday evening, a worker there took Advertisement the person's name and license-plate number. Then he called Grovell, who drove to the store and claimed her puppies and their mother, Sarah. "I was so happy to get mom and the puppies," Grovell said. But Grovell said the dogs were dirty when she recovered them and the mother of the puppies was shaken up. "I really have to give her a lot of love and care," she said. Grovell said she thinks the people who stole her dogs were two women who recently came to see the puppies on the pretext that they were interested in buying them. Grovell said the women heard about the puppies through her son, and she said she was going to sell the female puppies for $600 and the male puppies for $500. Yorkie puppies can often sell for more than $1,000, Grovell said. "They acted like they were so interested," Grovell said. "I couldn't believe that someone would have the audacity to do something like that." Grovell said she's anxious to recover Buster and Delilah, too. She said the woman who took the dogs to the pet shop told the store worker that she also had an adult male Yorkie she was keeping to breed, as well as a Yorkie-Chihuahua mix. "I know they are not in good hands," she said. "I want them to have happy homes and love." |
If they have the license plate number why the heck haven't the police gone and gotten the other two dogs??? I don't get it!!!!!!!! |
Praise God she got the momma & 4 pups back!! Praying she gets the other 2 back very, very soon. Praying the police get these scummy people who would steal the dogs |
