    Chalk on a wall.ffs.its been raining so much this summer the chalk would be washed off after 2 minutes.Trying to find a cable tie in the dark stuck on a gate is another one.
    Walter mitties inventing theories for the sake of drama the most of it.

    I honestly can't decide which forum is the worst place for a thread like this, A&PI or AH.

    Few dogs stolen and people noticing marks and bits of string on their gates, from reading here it seems to be the same all over.

    British Bulldog Puppy stolen from Killaloe yesterday found dumped. Owner put her all over social media and worked closely with Gardai. Tweets were put out alerting the ports. Owner received messages saying she was in was in Limerick and person was trying to extort money from owner saying she was iw 'very valuable'.

    Dog dumped when realised dog could be too distinctive. Lucky owner.

    Utter rubbish. Even BASIC LOGIC would say its bullsh1t.

    I wish people would stop scaremongering with this utter tripe. The second rate local media that employ untrained interns to write local gossip are partly to blame as are the sh1te rags like the daily mail or more locally the Herald/Indo

    Think of really basic elementary logic - we have eircodes, we have street maps, we have addresses we even have cameras on all our phones.

    If I wanted to "mark" a house would I

    A - put a chalk marking that will wash away with the first shower or rain or a cable tie on a gate for someone to come later in the DARK OF THE NIGHT to break in and steal a dog / rob an elderly couple or whatever the latse sensational fad scare story going. (you can barely see a cable tie in daytime let alone at night.

    or

    B - Send the address by text.

    So next time someone give you a stupid story about a marking on a gate tell them to sue basic logic and stop spreading scaremongering stupidity

    Breaking new from Gardai

    Gardaí have seized 10 dogs that are believed to be stolen following a search in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick on August 1, 2020.

    Through initial enquiries, Gardaí have since reunited 1 of the dogs, a Cavalier King Charles, with its owner but Gardaí are now appealing to help trace the owners of the other 9 dogs.

    No arrests have been made but Gardaí are following a definite line of enquiry and expect to progress the investigation in the near future.

    How in the name of jaysus have no arrests been made???
    Surely they were on someone's property, that would be my first port of call for an arrest if I was a cop

    Here's your proof folks, now please mind your dogs and look out for your neighbours dogs.

    To thine own self be true

    We’ve had a huge spate if it in our area the past few days. Drones at 1am last night. Suspicious vehicles in our town and cruising round. . Bits of string, chalk and other markings which have been advised to Gardai.

    It’s pathetic at this stage that people still here in denial.

    That’s not my house. That’s not my van. I’m just looking for directions and I needed the toilet and went into this house where the door was unlocked. They’re not my feet. They talk and talk and talk and the guards and judiciary don’t bother.

    And if we say anything against the perpetrators, be it 2, 5 or 10 people, they shout racism and we’re made out to be worse than hitler!

    My cocker spaniel with blonde ears and a brown body was stolen last week. I rang the guards and they told me to put up a few posters and search ads online. I went to a friends place across town and was telling this story, when their neighbour who was also at the gathering said that they know someone who recently purchased a cocker spaniel with blonde ears. He said it reminded him of Goldie Hawn. He was a bit tipsy, and to be honest so was I, so I asked him if he could show me this dog sometime. He said sure let's walk there, the house is only 10 minutes away. So we go and sure enough I see my dog barking in the window. We went to the house and rang the buzzer. No answer. Left a notice, explaining that they somehow have my dog. I get a call back and they tell me I can have my dog back for a price. How much? Tree fiddy, he says. The end.

    And did he give you the 350 and your dog or did you just take em?

    My wife showed me a post on FB the other day. A splat of black on the side of a house. The poster was shrieking about having being marked by dog thieves, and warning everyone in the group to look out of such marks. Loads of likes and supportive comments echoing the outrage at this happening.

    One sane person pointed out that it looked suspiciously (exactly) like a dark bird dropping. Cue the geniuses who declare that it couldn’t be bird shíte, because the wall is vertical, and birds poop from the air! So there’s no way a bird could poo on a vertical surface - it had to be dog thieves!

    How someone that stupid could manage looking after a dog is beyond me.

    That's just stupid. Dog thieves can't poop on a vertical surface either.
    Unless they are being flung from a few floors up. That's different.

    Dogs are being targetted more of late it seems and it has been a longstanding problem and yep a certain demographic are more in play. However the chalk, string and other nonsense, is well, nonsense spread by hysterical middle aged Marys on Facebook and Whatsapp.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
