COULD a little old lady be behind the disappearances of pedigree dogs in Subang Jaya? That’s what two dognapping victims are claiming.
They believe that a mysterious woman in her 60s who visited their homes is responsible for their missing pets.
A victim who wants to be known as Pais, 39, said that a few days before her pet was stolen a woman claiming to be a friend came to her house looking for her nine-year old son.
�She knew my son�s name and my maid. Being careless I did not think twice about letting her into the house. Once inside, she asked my son questions about my dog�s name, when it was bought and how much it cost. My son told me that she was friendly towards the dog.
She was around for less than 10 minutes,� said Pais about the early morning visit.
It never occured to Pais that the woman was interested in her two-year-old Silky Terrier. But she instructed her maid and the children to stay behind locked doors if the woman was to appear again.
Four days later the woman appeared again. She had short curly black hair, greying at the roots.
The maid did as she was told and carried on with the housework at the back of the house. When she came to the front 15 minutes later to check if the woman was still there, she noticed that the dog, Max, was missing.
Moments later, Pais arrived home and they set off on foot and by car to look for Max around the neighbourhood but he was nowhere to be found.
Pais said that the gate was locked and there was no way for Max to escape through the metal bars.
She suspected that the woman may have taken Max out by lifting his body over the gate.
A police report was lodged at the USJ 8 station but until today, Pais has yet to hear any news on
her dog.
Another Subang Jaya resident with the same thoughts about who has been stealing pets is Cindy. Her pet Maltese, Sam, went missing two weeks ago.
It was a Saturday and the whole family had left home in the morning to do their shopping. When they came back in the evening, Sam was no longer at his usual perch at the porch. And the gate was locked.
So Cindy put up flyers asking those with information to get in touch with her. Two people came to say that they had seen the dog being held by a woman. Their description of the woman fits that given by Pais� maid. She was seen walking towards a nearby neighbourhood.
This is not the first time pedigree dogs have been reported stolen.
On March 2, Malay Mail reported that a Norwegian couple living in Taman TAR, Ampang, lost their five-month-old Shih Tzu, Chip, to a thief who pulled it through a four inch opening in the front gate.
The incident was caught on the couple's security camera.
A RM5,000 cash reward has since been offered by the couple but to date, there has been no progress in the search for Chip.
