Absolutely Brilliant news, I am so pleased! Well done to everyone involved, you all worked so hard to get this little man home and it paid off in the end. xxx
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
Well everyone... what a day!!! I'm pleased to say that yes it's true, Rocco is safe and well. The finders were lovely, doggy people - he was dumped in woods near Tesco, Gillingham, and fortunately for him was seen by them when they were walking their own dogs. He has been looked after but would not appear to have been out much... he has just been to the vet where I met Lucy, and Sue, and we all had a bit of a tear in our eyes. He also has a brand new chip and his first vaccination again. I cannot thank those who helped enough - you're all too many to mention but Sue, Dan and Gareth you were stars - Pheobe and Tracey - wow so many of you who helped get Rocco home safe and well. Let's not forget we still don't have an arrest for the crime but the important thing is that tonight, Rocco is back where he belongs. Thank you - from the bottom of my heart I'm one happy Doglost Coordinator tonight. Thank you. xxx

ROCCO HAS BEEN FOUND!! I will let Dee (Sherlock Bones) tell all as he is in the back of her car on the way to be reunited with delighted owners
DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent
My grooming lady was convinced she saw Rocco this morning - he's grown a little bit. He was with a young hoodie lad who was with a woman pushing a pram in Strood in the area we've been looking for him. She phoned the owner so hopefully followed up.

Loving all the interest in Rocco, feeling more and more positive about it now, just hope it works and people come forward with info! Thanks for all your help.

I don't know them but if I were their mother I know what I would do with them. I have 2 teenagers myself, fortunately they do not do things like that. I think they will be found soon and hopefully they won't just get slapped wrists.Last edited: 2011-02-02 20:30:42

Photo cropped and uploaded of the two people who stole Rocco, someone must recognise them. Brilliant to see the response on the FB group, not had time to catch up with everything. Jan x

The interest in Rocco's facebook page is amazing... trying hard to keep up but it's going viral very very quickly. Someone knows who the two in the CCTV picture are... and it won't be long before we find them, I'm sure. Local press have now picked up the story and Lucy is contacting them to take this forward. Come on everyone - share the group on facebook and lets ID those thieves!
Rileys Mum
Rocco's fb group can be found here:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_185541221466828

The group is called Who Stole Rocco. Please request to join this group and share all pics and details with friends and family. Let's get this baby home safe. Thank you
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
Thanks lonewolf. I think that odd laces are trendy with kids today so we need to makes sure that the thief also has curly hair! Nina - it's called "Who stole Rocco?" hope you find it - if not add the "person" called Rocco Missing and the group will also be on his page.
lonewolf60
Just looked at the FB page, have asked people in area so far no luck though a few have asked for a pic so will be doing some posters later today. Will now include the cctv pic, see if it jogs any memories , its the trainer laces that bug me, def seen similar worn down the High street a few weeks back.
Bluetaco
Hi, I am having trouble finding the facebook page, what is the name of the group? thnxs, Nina
DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West
Got another photo of Rocco from his FB page and grouped together. Someone must recognise the scum who stole him from the CCTV. Jan x
DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West
Photo cropped to bring him closer for the DL poster. Keeping everything crossed lovely little Rocco is back home soon with his family. Good luck. Jan x

There's a facebook group for Rocco: they need help identifying the theives - CCTV pic included http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_185541221466828&ap=1#!/home.php?sk=group_185541221466828&ap=1

Lucy I'm told Rocco was in Friday's Kent Messenger (page 19) but they're interested in running another story with the CCTV in. Am assuming this is ok by you. :)
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
Hi Lucy - I've just been told copy is going over to various papers tonight so hopefully we'll see some press soon - don't be surprised if you get calls from journalists. I've had another idea but need to check it out with a police officer before I do it... will talk to you tomorrow about it.
Lucy *
Hi everyone, I'm Roccos owner..We are very greatful for any help with finding Rocco!! There is lots of evidence with our case so hopefully these lads will be caught asap and we can get Rocco back where he belongs!!
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
It was roughly the size of two shoe boxes put on top of each other, white in colour. You'd notice it if it were left somewhere.
DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.
How big was the safe?
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
The thieves ran towards Elaine Avenue, where they were seen by a witness getting into a blue coloured car, possibly a Peugeot, outside the shop by the school. Did anyone see this car or the occupants?
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
PS there are also fingerprints taken from the scene and the CCTV shows two youths, one carrying a safe, the other Rocco. They can't have gone far from the property (Lancelot Road) with a heavy white safe. If anyone finds the safe, please let us know because that too is evidence that can link in the thieves. Please let us know if it's found - alleyways, fields etc.
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
Not sure it'll be in the KM, but we have a copy of the CCTV that can go in other papers...
lonewolf60
Am about all this week will chat with local dog walkers in the area Gordon road is next one up from me, so someone might know something. Will there be images of the suspects in the KM?.
DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator
Yes, Sylv... thanks for your help - should also be in the KM this week. With the CCTV the theives might as well hand him back 'cos there's no way we're giving up IDing them!!
Hookypup
C`mon, somebody out there must recognise this dog...so cute. Hurry up and return to your proper home little man.

Please help find Rocco. He was stolen over a week ago, and there is CCTV evidence of the offenders. A crime number has been issued. Got a bit of a personal interest in this one: the family from whom he was stolen are friends of my own family. Please please help.
