Exclamation We've been robbed!

YIPES!! Someone took this part that came from my hybrid:




They left the $2,000 laptop, my tools and TV but took this one plastic part but authorities have a suspect:



So far, she has taken the K9th amendment and refused to cough up the missing part. A search of likely hideouts continues.

ps. Lesson's learned: do not leave doggy toy shaped parts in accessible areas.

Bob,
Yeah ,I can see the guilt written all over that face . I can see that the stress has immobilized him!

Dogs sure know comfort .What is he ,part terrier of some sort? If you haven't found any plastic sawdust ,you might be lucky and he might have just hidden it .Of course ,you might find a bit of sawdust about 20 hours post consumption if you look for it.

Our current mutt Phoebe isn't as much of a thief as Isis was .Isis would sneak -and how such a leggy dog could sneak is beyond me - into my bedroom and steal my shoes .She wouldn't chew them -much - just rest her head on them and sleep.

Luck,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

That is our Kiwi dog, a mixed Pekenese-Terrier. We got her for my wife who would otherwise be home alone and Kiwi has been a blessing to our family. My wife had been taking an anti-depressant but stopped after we got Kiwi dog.

Still, Kiwi dog does like her chew toys but now I need to find the part. I checked at Toyota and it is part of $1,900 assembly ... now to find a good salvage yard with a 2001-03 Prius.

It looks like a perfect doggie dental cleaner.

Maybe leave a toothbrush lying around and watch to see where he hides it? Maybe add a very small transmitter (available at your local Acme Spy Supply) and monitor it remotely via Internet link...lol.

Check the backyard. You might find it's changed colors though and in smaller pieces. :-P

Cute little girl .With any sort of luck she has just hidden it . Our dog and cats really boost my wife's mood. I wish I had gotten Phoebe some sort of Service harness so she could walk on the trails at national and state parks . The bar for service dogs is very low - no papers need be carried and no proof demanded . Next trip maybe.

Luck on the part -that is a guilty face -paralysed with guilt pretending to relax!!
