About 6 years ago somebody went into my car at Circuit City and took my oldest Pit Bull, even then he an adult dog @ 5yo. It was late at night and I came out and he was gone...wow was I shocked. I did not sleep well for days and I took off work to search for him. I even tried going to the radio station and considered go to even further lenghts but finally realized that this was not a big deal to anyone except me.
After placing hundreds of flyers over 4 different towns I got a call from some kid claiming he had my dog ..he was especially interested in the $500 rewards. Actually I came home that 3rd day and there were 2 messages both obviously from the same kid but storys that did not match up.
I told him I only had $150 at the tim and he said that would be ok. Using his licence plates , phone number and name I was able to trace the kid down...I took all of the info and put it in an envelope and decided I was not going to worry about it because I did have my dog back.
Anyhow my oldest Pit Bull is now going on 12 ...and the time I have had with him has been priceless.
Theft comes with the territory when you own a Pit Bull...sad but true. My newest Pit is about a year old and she is easily a $500-$600 dog , as is. I will have to keep a close
eye on her anytime I take her along with me..though since she is a female she is quite abit meaner so only an experienced thief would try and take her.
