Are dogs being stolen in your area?

sorry but its absolute rubbish. Complete and utter rubbishIt is very strange how you ask and answer your own question as if that closes the argument?
Numerous people here on this post have stated they have seen the cable ties/marks in their area. About five posts up you responded to a poster that the cable ties were a hoax. This poster earlier in the thread had given a personal example of cable ties being seen in their area.
People here have stated they have heard whistling to attract their dogs.
Personally I have seen a drone in my area and I have heard the whistling. At the same time as suspicious characters were spotted.
Gardai/Community Text alert areas across the country have issued warnings about markings.
Here is a Detective advising of Cable Ties being used to mark houses in Kildare and what they are seeing in reality.
Unfortunately, many dogs are being stolen from Kildare. Pippa and Dora are just two high profile ones. This is a warning to people to be proactive with their security. The Gardai here clearly state that have first hand experience of cable ties being used, but some random person on boards knows better than the Gardai and declares peoples concerns as a hoax.

What you are actually doing is discouraging people from reporting what could be suspicious behaviour. Reporting that behaviour raises awareness and may result in someone's pet being protected, which is more important than a need to feel superior over others.
Cable ties are 2 a penny. they are everywhere.
Do people see a cable tie on their gate and leave it there?
And how many house actually have gates these days?
And these thefts happen mostly at night - will they see a cable tie (many are black) whilst scouting around.
There's this thing called google maps, there's also eircode and then there's plain old street address. ALL of which are far more easier than leaving a "marking"
Do people really think thieves are going to give advance notice of a theft?
Then you use the "whistling" - that's even funnier. If you exclude apartments, almost 40% of homes have dogs. And dogs respond to their owners whistle and cane very very easily work out if it the right whistle.
People need to use their own brain when thinking of this. Some gardai areas stupid and incompetent as those believing social media (you barely need a pass leaving cert to become a standard garda)
It simply is NOT TRUE. Same rubbish has been going around social media for years all over the world and always debunked.
The same arguments are also used for "the house is worth robbing" or there are "elderly people in the house" or the people in the house are on holidays" - choose your own scaremongering headline and you will find someone will claim a chalk marking (on a wet day
) or a cable tie or a ribbon denotes that scaremongering headline.
All it does is frighten people when there's no need to be frightened
Report suspicious behaviour, but a cable tie or someone whilstling or some kid using a drone.??? Seriously0 -

You said above that the Gardai have never mentioned marking of peoples properties and asked for evidence.
There is a Detective on that clip audibly telling people what they (the Gardai) have come across in relation to it.
There are numerous people here giving first hand accounts.
But you still know way better than a qualified Detective.
Says it all really.0 -
