Here is a story involving a small town mayor stealing a dog. The owners of the dog left it with the mayor to take care of while they were taking their kids on vacation. The dog was very sick at the time because of a previous incident where it got trapped under the house. The mayor felt that because they didn't cancel their vacation plans to take care of the sick dog they were not giving it enough affection and so they were mistreating it and called them to tell them it died while they were gone. It turned out the dog was still alive and quite well living with the mayor. In this case the authorities decided not to press criminal charges, which I feel is outright wrong. The mayor stole their dog and should be punished.

Ever heard of a Security System?
Interesting article about a breeder that apparently can't take a hint. She recently had a Fox Terrier stolen from her home, the odd thing is it is the fourth one to be stolen in two years. Buy a security door or an alarm. It gets even better though, she not only breeds Fox Terriers, but also breeds Bull Mastiffs.
Bull Mastiff
She already has a good security system already installed, it just needs to be enabled. Just lock up all the dogs except for the most recent female Bull Mastiff to give birth. Give her free roam of the house and anyone who is dumb enough to break in isn't going to make it away with anything short of heavy necrotic tissue trauma.

New Articles
Here is a follow up article from the Altoona Mirror regarding Tammy Grimes' case. The general sentiment I am seeing from animal rights quacks is that if animal control had actually done there job she wouldn't have been forced to break the law. I find several flaws in that assessment.
First, no one forced her to break the law, and she said when she did it she accepted full responsibility for her actions. Yet, for the last 15 months she has been claiming she took the dog, but wanted to be let off free. If she truly accepted the consequences of breaking the law she wouldn't have been so insistent that she didn't break the law even though she stole a dog.
Second, animal control organizations across the country are underfunded and overworked. If they truly wanted to fix the problem that caused the situation they would use all the publicity generated to draw attention to the situation of animal control. You can't blame them for not being able to respond to a call as quickly as you like when they lack the resources to do so.
Tammy Grimes Follow Up
Here is a particularly disturbing story that has surfaced recently. Apparently, a man left his dog at the clubhouse when he went golfing. While he was golfing, two employees stole the dog and slaughtered it to be eaten. The names of the two suspects have not been released so it may be difficult to follow this through to a trial. I will post more as I find it.
Dog Stolen and Eaten
The last story today is about a puppy that was stolen from the home. It is a rare color and supposedly worth as much as $5,000. This is a common form of theft where thieves target homes they know have rare dogs. Since the dog is still a puppy it makes it easy to transport, and due to the demand for the dog it is an easily movable commodity. The owners typically will offer a large reward for their puppy, no questions asked, which in my opinion is the worst thing you could do. Sure, you will probably get your dog back, from the very thieves who stole it, but at the expense of perpetuating the cycle. It happens so frequently that it wouldn't surprise me if thieves steal the dog with the intention of returning it for a reward.

Tammy Grimes Found Guilty
Tammy Grimes found Guilty
After 15 months of following her case, Tammy Grimes has been convicted of theft and receiving stolen property. I say good. If you steal someone's dog because you feel it was abused, I hope you get charged with theft yourself. People are now complaining because they felt the D.A. wasted money taking the matter to court, but is it not a crime to steal someone's property? Why should we have a law if it isn't going to be enforced. I say congratulations to the D.A. on a job well done.
This is the first post for this blog, and it will not be the last. As I see new cases involving the theft of people's dogs I will add them here. I will try to limit posts to only those that are of merit. Either where substantial evidence exists so it may lead to a conviction or where the is something extraordinary about the case. If the animal rights nut jobs follow through on their claims of stealing any dogs they see in need, I will follow through on ensuring they are visible to the public.
