DECATUR, Ga. - Stealing a person’s car is one thing, but stealing a person’s dog is another. Decatur police said someone did both Friday evening.
It happened around 5:47 p.m. along Ponce de Leon Place at West Ponce de Leon Avenue. Decatur police said a woman parked her running vehicle on the curb to use the ATM when someone wearing all-dark clothing hopped in the vehicle and drove off.
Inside was the woman’s dog, Bourke sitting in the back seat.
