Stolen (message from another site)

[davebuttle]

Can anyone help a good friend of mine?  As many of you will have seen when training along the A168 south of Thirsk there is a farm which sells pigeon corn.  The couple that live here are two of the most genuine people you could ever meet in pigeon racing.  Last Sunday someone called at the farm to buy corn and did not only leave with corn but stole the couples Jack Russell terrier.  It is believed that the man is from Middlesbrough although perhaps works somewhere like Leeds as he has since been seen driving past the farm again.  Sadly the full numberplate was not obtained although we know it was a white ford escort van R reg, tinned out where windows used to be, with ladders on the roof.  The driver was of quite a big build, probably aged about 60 with dark/going grey hair and he wore glasses.  He had a young lad of about 20 with him who must keep dogs as he was asking about if a certain type of dog food was in stock.  The chap bought a bag of No Bean and left.  Bonny, the little dog in question is two years old and is white with two brown ears.  There is a £200 reward up for her safe return.  If anyone has any information please get in touch.

wont be hard to find the p  k

[Mr Yorkie]

Thanks for putting the posting on this site (I'm the person who posted on another forum); I did mean to last night but wasn't sure how many fanciers on here were in the North East?  We believe she may have been stolen for breeding; she was the perfect age and was thought to be due to come on to heat soon.  The owner herself wanted to breed from her ironically.  The couple have another dog who is lost without her little play mate; all in all it's a heartbreaking story.  If anyone can help please come forward.

hope they get the dog back.i'd be gutted

Hope John and Wendy get the dog back she is a lovely dog.I was down at the farm that day it must have happened after I left as I was down early morning. I know that Wendy will be broken hearted. Somebody must know who the scum that took it is.

[Mr Yorkie]

Bumping this in the hope someone new reads the message this evening and can help with our search.  Any information would be greatly received and as Tom says, someone must have some idea of who this could be.  Imagine this was you......

[hepste]

I know this might sound fairly obvious, but have the couple reported this to the police.  It sounds as if the van is quite distinctive, easily spotted/recognised, and I bet my last pound, the van and drivers are known to the old bill.  

[Mr Yorkie]

The police have been informed but as they only know the start letter of the reg plate they were no help.  Please keep this bounced and spread the word.

[Webmaster]

Never got corn from the farm before, but been there training plenty of times. Hope they get their dog back safe, well and soon.

Hi,

 

If you are able email details to sites like

 

www.doglost.co.uk

 

www.lostdogsuk.com

 

www.nationalpetregister.org

 

These are some of the first sites our friends use if dogs go missing.  Dog lost helped one friend get her dog back 12 months to the day after it was stolen from her back garden.

[Mr Yorkie]

Much appreciated, I'll add the details.  

[ChrisMaidment08]

You hear of some awful things, but stealing someone's dog?  Scum - they want putting down.
