Chicago Police Hunt For Cruella De Ville Type Bandit

A pet store in the Southeast side of Chicago was broken into, and as many as 24 puppies were stolen.

No, they were not dalmatians:

The most expensive of the stolen puppies were two boxers, a Maltese and one or two Chihuahuas. Each sells for about $1,000. Also stolen were two golden retrievers, three or four beagles, two Siberian huskies, one Pomeranian and a shih tzu. At least 17 dogs were missing.

The dogs’ total value is estimated between $10,000 and $15,000. Whether the dogs are covered by insurance was not clear Sunday, said Cindy Groenewold.

Apparently the marked down pups weren’t good enough for them. They were left alone.

    Ok what exactly does a $10,000 dog look like? Does it poop diamonds?

    That’s really close to where WP lives — just sayin’.

    The thought of WP with 24 puppies in his apartment cracks me up.
