This morning I looked at the cameras to see if he had been around in the afternoon/evening for some reason as he had been missing since lunch yesterday. “We were devastated to see the driver lingering to take the opportunity.

“He was in complete shock and disbelief when he picked her up and pushed her into his car. This was also seen on my neighbor’s camera. The poor thing is on medication and has a heart murmur.”
