ChrisCandy4u Democrats made theft legal so,, good luck with that.

So fricking low. Not just taking a family member but traumatizing an intelligent animal. I hope her kidnappers are punished.

I hope their pet is recovered but why would you leave your pet in the furniture store and not have it with you at home?

This breaks our hearts I pray they find him

hasanthehun I know you said thieves should get off easy, but I mean come on
