Florida Keys dognapper still at large. As the net closes, pooch’s
parents release last chance statement to dog’s abductor.
In a statement today, the owners of the
dog whose abductor was caught on surveillance video swiping Bonny the Border
Collie at a Key West marina on October 1st, 2004, sent a strong
message to the culprit in this crooked canine caper. The message warns the
thief of the gravity of his crime and the severity of the resulting
consequences, and offers a way out for the crook. It is believed that the
dognapper is no longer in the Keys but resides somewhere in Florida.
This amazing story of the unprecedented
efforts of a group of friends trying to recover a stolen animal including
previous press coverage and the surveillance video may be viewed at
www.lazydogkeywest.com.
Message to Bonny’s abductor: “We had
hoped that given time, through the publicity that this story has received,
you would understand the pain you have caused us. We had hoped that you
would return Bonny. This has not happened. Now let us appeal to your
practical side. State, county and several city law enforcement agencies are
involved in this case. County detectives have been assigned and are working
closely with us. Government and private investigative agents have been
consulted and are currently analyzing data. It is the collective
professional opinion of these agencies that given the data available, it is
only a matter of time before you are apprehended. Not if, but when. At that
time you will be facing felony criminal charges as well as civil lawsuits.
In short, you will be in a world of trouble. You may not have understood the
gravity of your actions at the time of the crime. You made a serious
mistake. We are now giving you the chance to erase that mistake by calling
us and telling us where we can come to pick up Bonny. If you do this quickly
before law enforcement officials find you, we will drop all charges. Call
our toll free number 1-866-293-9550 or cell phone (305) 395-0172 as soon as
possible and we can put all this behind us.”
