Since, at least, the infamous case of Molly back in 2009 – it has been repeatedly urged that you do not leave your pets unattended.
Thanks to all who messaged me about this:
“Pet parents in the NoMa / H Street / Capital Hill area, please be aware that there is a woman stealing dogs from outside businesses.
She stole a dog on Saturday, May 21 from the Giant at H and 3rd NE, then attempted to take another dog from the Union Kitchen on F and 3rd NE on Monday, May 23, only hours after the first dog was taken back from her. (more…)
