A guy working for the city of Phoenix a few years ago came up and asked to buy my cousins dog, she said no, next day it was missing. Had no idea how to find him to get it back.

Over twenty years ago I was still a teenager at home, my mother ran a kennel (cockers and shih tzu). One day this woman and her boyfriend came out to see the puppies. They looked at them and said they would have to think about it. I went on with my stuff in the backyard. When my mom got home she noticed the puppies were all gone, all seven of them. Called the cops and of course they were completely useless. So my mom put out a full page ad for information in the newspaper, that cost a pretty penny, but she was real pissed.

One of the woman's friends came forward and snitched on her. Turns out the woman was the daughter of an owner of a chain of car part stores in town so she away with it only with some community service. The boyfriend got some time. They guy that came forward and had gotten the pups from them for us? Two years.

He had the stolen property. Technically. And even though we made sure to not press charges against that guy he still got jail time.

What- like he bought some dogs, realized they were stolen, reported it, and went to jail and was charged as a direct result of having been given stolen dogs, and without the actual owners pressing charges?

That makes so little sense that's there's got to be more to it behind the scenes (like the dude got caught with a drugs or something when the cops came by).

The guy came forward to us with the dogs, not the cops. There was no drugs or whatever. There was nothing more to it. This was a relatively small southern town. The good old boy system. Someone had to go to jail and the daughter of an important town figure wasn't it. The boyfriend got his token jail time.

Why not just... say they were anonymously dropped? Or ig we know to now...

I think it’s fair to assume someone returning your missing dogs won’t be seen as a criminal.

The problem is America isn’t fair.

Behind the scene - cops got discount auto parts.

Takes a certain amount of sociopathy when you do shit like this and you know you can just buy some dogs and not even feel the money

Do you know what type of work they did? Any specific vehicle they drove as part of their work or tools they may have used?

Update: the woman was arrested but Finn was not found. Supposedly she gave it to someone who gave it to someone and so on. Please keep an eye out for Finn. He could be anywhere from San Marcos, to Tierrasanta to Chula Vista, Carlsbad and so on.

She stole the dog just to turn it in to animal control? What a piece of shit. I hope she gets convicted, her reputation ruined, and she’s stuck wasting away at minimum wage jobs the rest of her life. She doesn’t deserve to be part of society

Before watching that video I had to watch an Amazon add for future employees.

As a former Amazon employee, I’d love to do those ads. They wouldn’t show them, but it would be fun.

Do you mean be in the commercial yourself?

Yes! I’ll talk about working at Amazon! They won’t show my ads, and I’ll get fired pretty quickly. But like I said, it’ll be fun!

Damn, I hope she gets her dog back. Stealing someone else’s dog is one helluva scumbag thing to do.

>He's turning thirteen next month. He sleeps with me every night. He will die with me.

There's a lot of pitbulls in my neighborhood; I wonder if the owners realize that if they die before their dog, there is a good chance it will be put down if nobody in their family takes it.

Stealing a dog is considered petty crime in the eyes of the law because animals are property.

redander t1_iuclvlx wrote

It can be more than that. Especially if you steal someone's expensive prize winning show dog. Seriously though people shouldn't steal dogs

WholeLiterature t1_iudkpgt wrote

I have spent over $20k on one of my dog’s vet bills. I have wondered if I would have a stronger court case because of the money I’ve spent on her health. That’s far above a “petty crime” and the dog herself was a couple thousand ten years ago.

All I heard was that the woman who took Finn was arrested. I have no idea if Finn was returned. I spoke to the owner herself and that is all I know.

This was my biggest fear with a roommates dog years ago. She was just so nice and willing to trust literally anyone that I could totally see her getting into a vehicle and disappearing. How horrifying.

Deranged either way I wonder if this is a white knighting version for dogs she may have thought she was “rescuing” him since he may have been alone in a yard. Hope he’s back home.

Shouldn’t this be straightforward?? Find the employee and use a warrant to search their property to find the good boy?

I seriously doubt that an Amazon driver would try to pull this. Or at least it would be difficult. I drove for Amazon 2020-2021 and I left when they decided to put cameras on the dash, and around the outside of the van.

Not only does Amazon have gps location of all their vans, as well as acceleration, braking, and cornering data on all their vans. Assuming Amazon would be compliant with police you'd have a hard time getting away with it

Look at the pics man. That's an Amazon Flex driver using their personal vehicle. No dash cams and everything else you mentioned.
