So, so happy to see Nala move to 'reunited'! xxx
DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.
When we know more we will update as police investigating.
Belle
From trawling through FB comments sections it seems Nala was found on the street by someone and handed in. Sounds like she may have been 'too hot to handle' and released by the thief, but more information is always welcome when people have been working so hard to spread the word.

collie owner

Natalia
How relieved the owners must be. This was fantastic news to hear. Information on whether there is an investigation to who took her and how she was reunited wld be much appreciated, especially with the amount of time & effort people have made online and on the ground to get her back. And I pray her return did not mean soneone is £3000 richer.

Someone has suggested owner look at this link on a selling site - I think fur on head is too long (?) - plus I’m sure Nala has just been clipped? - but thought worth owner checking just in case. Pls get advice from stolen@doglost.co.uk before persuing any for sale ads as I am not sure of best way to proceed. https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/3118640-maltese-female-2-years-old-tiny-2kg-girl-ivybridge.htmlLast edited: 2021-02-23 07:07:33 by thedogfinder

The theft of the van took place in Prospect Rd, New Barnet EN5 - the van was subsequently sighted in Oakleigh Park N11 before being abandoned in Winchmore Hill. One dog, Kayla was still in the van [as Karen has reported below]

Could admin confirm the postcode please? Dont think N11 is correct? The news is spreading wide and fast on social media now. Hoping for good news soon on the remaining missing 2.

van was subsequently sighted Oakleigh Park, N11. The van is registration number YG14 KWW - it's a white Ford Transit van with silver & purple paws on the side. Nala is inside with the other two dogs, a Saluki/Lurcher Cross and a Tibetan Terrier - please phone the police if you see this van - the van has a broken drivers mirror which is held together with a lot of sellotape - photos on my tweet.Last edited: 2021-02-18 17:44:20 by thedogfinder
