People have to help themselves by stepping up security at home, also stop advertising pups or adult dogs on forums & giving out there phone numbers
Just as an example joe gets a call from an online advert, he arranges to meet some fella at the nearest service station, while he meets the fella , his homes being robbed & any or all dogs are stolen by the fellas mates , just one classic example of how dog thefts occur
help yourselves by not adverising pups & quite openly plastering telephone numbers all over the place
