Was speaking to the breeder today and the current whereabouts of this puppy is actually known but everytime the police get sent to the house, they do a runner out the back so as of yet they haven't been able to get him back

Crikey, the Lynwater kennels are only a 5-10 minute drive from my house  :-\  Not good news that there are dog thieves operating in the area, not that my two are left outside though.

I really hope the Police manage to get the puppy back soon.

Post by: Elisa on April 16, 2007, 07:59:22 PM
You would think that they would put someone at the back to catch them  :huh:  At least they know where the pup is and are taking the theft seriously.  I'm sure he will be back where he belongs very soon.

Post by: JackieD on April 16, 2007, 08:02:20 PM
Oh I do hope so too, I think to know where he is and not be able to get him back is even more of a nightmare  :'(

That sounds a bit inept on the police's part.  ::) Couldn't afford to let that happen if it was a terrorist so why can't they catch these people??  :shades:  Hope the police get their act together soon.  :-\

I thought it was a bit bizarre myself - like Elisa said, just stick someone out the back to catch the toerag! I just hope he is being looked after

Anymore news on this poor wee mite? You wouldn't think it would be that difficult for the police to get them back if they know where they are.  :'( :'(

Post by: Nicola on April 18, 2007, 05:15:52 PM
There's a sign up in my local PAH with some pictures of this little boy as Lynwater are very near to me, it says that he's still reliant on his mum and desperately needs to be returned. I really hope they get him back soon  :-\

Post by: *Jay* on April 18, 2007, 05:36:33 PM
I haven't heard any more so far. I have been in contact with the breeder over the past 4 weeks or so as I have my name down for a male pup. There was the possibility of an older pup being available so I called on Monday for a progress check on that when she said that this little guy was looking suitable for me before some cretin nicked him (cretin is my word - she used obnoxious so-and-so  :005:). Obviously I hope he gets returned regardless but now that i have a personal interest, I feel like doing some door knocking myself and giving the police a kick up the bum  >:D

If it can be proved - which is unlikely, as the police will not have advised to make any payment, so the evidence will have been lost  :-\

I am sure that if I was faced with the same situation, I would pay too - but sadly, each time of of the evil people are successful in getting ransom money, it encourages more of the same....... >:(

Post by: lyn on April 19, 2007, 12:53:12 PM
well whoever said that "crime doesn't pay" must be a liar. if someone kidnapped a dog of mine i would pay too but, i would be blinking furious about it.
at least he is safely back with his mum now :luv:

Post by: *Theresa* on April 19, 2007, 02:37:38 PM
I have to hold my hands up and admit I would pay to get either of my two back too as I would not want them to come to any harm.  >:(

Keeping positive thoughts for you Gill.  ;)
Title: Re: Stolen cocker, Edinburgh
Post by: Nicola on April 19, 2007, 03:22:29 PM
Very glad that they got the pup back safely, even if they did have to pay  >:D

I would do it too for either of mine but I would be furious. I just don't understand these people who do things like this  >:(
