Crazy, this is not the first time that has happened here, except the last time the thief may not have known about the dogs in back, this time not so sure, imo speculation.

Also, I did a google search and found that there are few dognapping cases out there. I guess it's not an uncommon crime.

I wonder if this idiot even knew the dogs were in the SUV when he stoled it? Did he just get down the road a ways, then look in the mirror, and see a bunch of dogs, then maybe they started barking at him?
