Guest lurchers&terriers Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 i don't know if im being paranoid or not but for a while now a white transit van keeps popping up with two men in it, iv seen them where i walk my dogs (about 2 mile from the house) and iv seen them parked out side they have also drove past really slow looking at my one lurcher in particular. The mrs went over the takeaway about 45 Min's ago as she has some weird cravings at the moment as she 7 months preg, any way when she was coming out a man was coming to wards her and said that's some nice dogs you got and she just ignored them,he then said whats in them, now the mrs swears its the same guy that has been driving the white transit as its not a face you will forget. he always has his mate with him and this isn't the first time she has been approached by this man she was quite shaken up about it so what do you think is it just a coincidence? or should i be watching my dogs more careful than i already do. My dogs live in doors anyway. the one guy very fat bloke and always has a hat on, his mate is scrawny looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) All you can do is stay vidulant, And keep an eye on your dog's when there in the garden having a piss/ect, Its sounds a very F**KED up situation fella and these people obviously are very intrested in your dog's, If i was you next time they drive slowly past the house id be out saying whats you problem and tell them not to forget to smile for camera.....!

Guest Scuba1 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 No mate you are not paranoid. I used to think that I was. But paranoid people think that others are after them. I know they are so I am not paranoid. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackpack 70 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 no mate. You are not being paranoid had the same as you. Every day a van was parked outside my house watching my dogs etc. Lucky a copper friend came and helped me out as i gave him the no plate they were gypsys. Just be careful and if you are out with the dogs take a mate read on this site that dogs have been taken when their owners walk them on a lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Machiavelli 0 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Aye, if your instincts are telling you somethings up, then it's always worth taking note. I know a chap who had a similar experience -- people watching his dogs, etc -- but he did take details. One of his terriers did go missing, but he was able to give details to the police and they found the dog about 200 miles away. Apparently there were about 11 stolen dogs at this place, most got reunited with their owners. . . . It's always worth taking note.

As I said make it obvious you've taken his no. plate. Write down sign and date every little thing. Date, times, descriptions, etc They'll probably do one if they think you're suspicious.

That's a heartening tale - so often the police don't take stolen dogs seriously, they just treat them as a regular lost dog, "see the dog warden, are you sure it hasn't just run off? etc etc" I'd take it seriously if someone was loitering around eyeing up any of my animals. Get no. plates, photos, descriptions, etc, and make sure your dogs are safe wherever they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
