" PLEASE HELP " STOLEN

Sat Oct 07, 2017 8:35 pm

STOLEN: From near Cardiff Central station. A beautiful dog de Bordeaux called Marley was stolen from a homeless guy called Maurice who often hangs around there when he turned his back. This dog is his life. It is the reason he is homeless because nowhere will take him with his dog. Any news contact Cardiff police or message me and I will do it. We have pictures of Marley!


I will update everyone here, when I have news

A decent guy and a nice dog, and good sounds.
He always seemed to be at the spot between the station and St Mary's Street.

I hope they catch the sick bastards who did this. Nicking someone's dog/pet is on par with nicking one of your children IMO as they are definitely part of your family homeless or not.

18 shares now! If you can put it on your Facebook it could make all of the difference! People talk and if someone gets wind of it in Cardiff the Police will be informed. Marley had very distinctive markings on his front. :ayatollah:

I have every sympathy with this poor man having his pet stolen , but saying that it is the same as having one of your children stolen is ridiculous.

One is a human being who is a direct blood descendent and the other is , when all is said and done ,just a dog , not even a human. Surely a dog cannot be claimed to be a part of a family in the same way as a blood relative human is?

Has anyone asked how it was stolen? Taking away a dog of that size should have been blatantly obvious to both its owner and any passers by - you could hardly put the dog in a carrier bag and carry it away in secret. Something in the story doesn`t quite ring true.

Was the dog found after? And was it ever "stolen" in the first place or did it just wander off when its owner wasn`t paying attention?

If the dog was stolen then this is a crime. Do the police have anything on CCTV?

Tony, to many I agree a dog can be like a child to many especially those with out children.
Theirs a lady/man over who can't children and their dogs are like their children to them.

If it happened to me,I would be broken hearted.

Why would you doubt and question the fact this man's best friend and most likely only companion has been stolen or lost, does it really matter which and yes to some people animals are like children.

What are you suggesting - maybe the homeless man has his dog insured for thousands of pounds and is looking to place a fraudulent claim. Yea right, really.

If you have nothing helpful to contribute then there are plenty of others topics on the forum you can be negative on, maybe best to leave this one alone and move on.

Really hope the dog is found soon.

I didn't once even remotely suggest that the homeless man was looking for an insurance claim. I just made the comment that the dog might just have wandered off whilst it's owner wasn't looking. I don't think that is unreasonable as, looking at the size of the dog in the picture posted, an attempt to steal it would have been blatantly obvious instantly to any passer by.

What I do disagree with in the thread is what I consider to be a ridiculous claim that losing the dog is the same as someone losing their child. Surely you don't agree with a claim that losing an animal is anything like losing your child?

I have to agree, losing your dog compared to your child in not remotely comparable.

When I first read the poster's claim that nicking a dog was like nicking a child, I nearly fell off my seat. I also doubt whether the McCann's would agree with that sentiment.

Is that the actual dog in that picture? Was he returned?
