| [News] Yorkies are amoung the most stolen dogs. We've seen it on here before! Pet thefts rise as economy hits dog-gone low - Pet health - MSNBC.com This article just reminds us how quickly it can happen. It's so scary. |

| I constantly remind my kids that they can't leave the dogs along, not even for a second. It's sad that it has to be that way.

| This is really sad. It presents a really good case for microchipping your pets, but it also makes me think twice about taking Gus along when I can't take him in the store, even if the car is locked. I live in a good neighborhood that's next to a bad one, and I wonder if someone would break into my car at the local shopping center to make a buck. My boy is staying home from now on! |

| Very scarey! Yesterday I drove by a house and saw a yorkie in the window. My first thought was oh no- that yorkie can be seen by anyone.

| Ugh this disappoints and pisses me off all at the same time. We moved here back in February and I hate it with a passion, not trying to sound mean or anything but the people here are REALLY creepy! There isn't 1 day when I leave without the fear of coming back to an empty house with no Lilly, it usually gets the best of me. There are a few people who know that I have her and I wish I would've never mentioned it to them. My boyfriend put her crate on the other side of our bed away from the door and we usually cover the crate with a blanket or something. It still puts me at no ease whatsoever. I can't wait 'til the day we move back to where we were and away from this hell hole and I pray that nothing happens before that. This world is so sad anymore.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | It really is so scary, I'm so glad I work from home. Mine are not left for more than the time it takes to get groceries but then I always let my neighbor know to keep an eye out. They then open their garage door and watch. It is too bad you have to do that but that is the way of the world.

| People know Yorkie's are expensive. Unfortunately if it is worth a lot of money then Low Life's are going to steal them. It is scary.
