I plan to spend $20,000 on a piece of equipment, leave it on the street, and then get mad when someone punches in the window or scratches it.

Where’s the justice?

I agree JGK completely…

That seems like a b-i-g leap.

I never heard that before.

It’s amusing that the commenters on this blog get so self-righteous about caring for dogs and, on repeated occasions, show such little humanity when discussing problems involving people. I hope the OP gets her dog back soon.

I second the comment about the self righteousness on here.

Perhaps keeping a dog tied up for three minutes while you buy a pack of gum isn’t the most supreme idea in this town, but neither is locking your bike with a chain lock, or parking your car without a club on the steering wheel. Do any of those actions excuse someone stealing? No.

Take it easy on the OP. I hope she finds her dog and, more importantly, the cops find the person that took it, because he/she obviously has mental issues and needs help.

Look at the pictures — not even close.

The one above is a Brussels Griffon; the one shown on Frozen Tropics is a Yorkshire Terrier. They don’t look at all alike.

Our friends had their basset hound stolen from outside a Blockbuster. After posting lost fliers all over the place, they got a call from someone in SE who said they “found the dog wandering in their neighborhood” and demanded a reward.
Good chance that you will be contacted by the thief and asked for money. Call the police and don’t pay or you continue the cycle and more people will have theirt dogs stolen.

First of all, sorry to the OP. That’s a horrible
situation, and I hope your dog gets found.

As for almost everyone else: Wow. Honestly, what a bunch of hectoring assholes here.

90% of the self-righteous commenters here are acting like leaving a dog outside for ten minutes is roughly equivalent to grand larceny. Please, get over yourselves.

Believe it or not, many dogs — not all, of course, but many — actually enjoy being tied up outside for a spell. They can relax, see/sniff other dogs, and enjoy the outdoors rather than being cooped up in an apartment.

It all depends on the dog. Dog owners (of which I am one) can usually figure out if their dog is happy being tied up outside or not, and proceed accordingly.

This is an awful situation. But it’s not like the OP was doing something rash or untoward with their animal. S/he tied it up outside, like hundreds of other dogs are a day, and some asshole stole it. Keep your eye on the ball, people.
