There have been many reports of attempted dog thefts where I live which as a dog owner really scares me.
Men are calling offering to do gardening,tree cutting,or checking loft insulation ,they are looking all around to see if there are any dogs on the premises
If they see a dog they then mark outside the house with chalk tape or ribbon
Then they cruise around very slowly in a white transit van sometimes early in the morning
A neighbour was walking his dog at around nine thirty at night and was attacked by a man in a hoodie after he refused to hand his dog over to him
This is a nice quiet residential area and we have never had anything like this happen so please be aware wherever you live keep your garden gates locked and don't answer the door to anyone who is a stranger
