Thank you so much for all your help so far! We have just heard that the car has been located, abandoned, in Willingham. Please if you know anyone in the area can you continue to share as we desperately want our puppy back safe. Remember SUBSTANTIAL CASH REWARD AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED ON SAFE RETURN. Thank you again and please keep helping, we appreciate everything everyone's doing!

It is thought that the Mercedes used to steal Rufus may have been sold to a traveller from Cambridge on Tuesday. Dan will be putting up posters in the area today. Can we have alerts to that area please?

Yes the Police are following it up but the family havent been updated yet x

2016-01-06 20:29 Doglover

Lisa, surely the person who bought the car would have had documentation from the person that sold it to him. Previous log book details from seller will be held with the DVLA surely police can follow up on this.
