K
National newspapers recently reported that dognappings have gone up by 17% in the UK with an estimated 3,500 dog thefts reported last year. This figure could actually be much higher as many thefts go unrecorded due to the police being reluctant to issue a crime number unless an owner has evidence of a crime and can prove the dog has been stolen.
Dogs are being stolen "to order" by organised gangs who will watch and wait, sometimes for weeks, for an opportunity to steal. One paper reported that the letter K has been found chalked near properties where dogs have been taken.
