‘He’s microchipped — why didn’t you take him to a vet or shelter to be scanned?’: Dog thief claims she was searching for the pup’s owner gets caught by clever dog walker who knew the perpetrator was up to no good

While cat burglars have quite the clever reputation behind them, the same cannot be said for the canine kind of thieves. Or at least the people who would be brainless enough to steal a doggo from their family. At least that was the case for this dog thief featured in today's story, who seemingly had no idea how to commit a crime and get away with it.

Especially seeing as she took quite the distinctive kind of dog, and then pretty much returned to the scene of the crime. At least in the sense that she took the dog from a neighborhood that she lived in. As though there would be no chance of getting caught with the dog in the same area it was taken from. Thankfully, she made little to no fuss about returning the pupper when confronted, meaning the poor pupper did not have to suffer any kind of extra stress.

Jheez, what a stressful moment to be confronted with. A live, in the moment action status update that your stolen dog has been found and not only that but that the thief has been caught at the same time. A truly unreal event to unfold.

Wow, that is some weak sauce right there. Like, if you are going to lie about stealing a dog and making no efforts to return it to its pawrents you could at least make some minimal effort to make your lie believable. At least a little. As they say, the semblance of truth lies in the details.
