ALL DOGS RECOVERED!!!
Thanks to everyone for helping keep this thread up near the top.
We had some good leads but didn't want to post anything until the dogs were recovered. For those who are interested, here are the details. (recall that my buddy had two stolen and a neighbor also had two stolen).
On the day after the dogs were stolen, one of the neighbor's dogs came back home without his collar on. A couple days later, my buddy found one of the neighbor's dogs tied out behind a trailer in a nearby trailer park. The kids (teenagers) that live there are troublemakers and have been in trouble with the law before. The grandmother defended them and make all kind of alibi's for them. They claimed that the dog wandered up. So, there was no proof that they stole them.
We felt they they turned the remaining two dogs loose since the "heat" was on. My buddy spent every night searching the area til at least 3am every night. he put a full page ad in the paper that came out today. As he was getting ready for work this morning, a friend of the neighbor calls and says he saw a skinny white hound walking down the road in Menlo (10 miles away). So he hi-tailes it over there and low and behold...it was one of his dogs. On the way back home, he sees his redtick on the side of the road as well.
Now it is time for the prosecution phase of the story. We don't know if someone put these kids up to stealing the dogs, or if the were just out rambling and being up to no good. I have a feeling that someone put them up to it. If they were simply up to no good, there was a lot of better things to steal in my buddy's yard than some hound dogs. Time will tell, but one thing is for sure, its not over!
thanks again.
