Default MK 1 ZT Used In Dog Theft Stockton-on-Tees

Evening Gazette this afternoon, a blue ZT used to steal American Bulldog in Stockton. Described by the paper as a " distinctive car", I'm leaning towards the description of the car by the paper to mean they are impressed with the styling of the ZT.

I'm of the opinion if you do go to do a crime, don't make yourself more noticeable. The ZT was found abandoned four miles away close to a travellers site. Not that I'm implying any association at all.

Anyone caught stealing a dog should get thrown in a cage with a pack of hungry Doberman’s.

It was not far from here. My missus showed me a picture of the car from Facebook, as she thought it could have been my old one.. It was a ZS.

Typical, this area rarely gets a mention, but when it does, it's bad!

Absolutely awful, stealing a dog is akin to kidnapping a child!!


What utter despicable scum, I hope the dog bites their fingers off.


I'd hate to think of anyone stealing my little lad, the sad thing is he is so friendly he wouldn't think twice about jumping into anyone's car.




Hopefully the perpetrators will be brought to book.

I hope the dog wasn't named Rover.


Here's hoping for a safe return to the owner.

Sadly if it is the Travellers then the police probably won't be interested in doing anything - they are too much trouble.
