- These people bravely tracked down things stolen from them. In 2019, Danielle Reno's SUV and wallet were stolen at a gas station in Missouri. Quick thinking helped her track the thief down. In 2018, a man was able to find his wife’s stolen car with the help of a good samaritan. After a dog-napping in 2022, a woman found her French bulldog, Georgie, with the help of social media. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.
Don’t blurr them out they deserve to be seen
But they don’t deserve it
Jk, they deserve to be doxxed, considering the law isn’t any help
Faxxx
They got found anyways, it’s just extra and unfair
Facts, get a hitman to murder them
It's because she wasn't prosecuted.
Criminals shouldn't be blurred so that people will be aware of their faces
right???? wtf
It could be that they may be prosecuted , so it’s the whole innocent until proven guilty in a court of law thing
Your not a criminal till convicted snowflake.
Its because their race 😂
@@DjMzunderstood I was thinking the same thing I'm like damn when it's black people or brown people, they don't blur their face, and when it comes to the children, if it's black or brown children, they don't seem to want to blur their face, the double standards, we know how it goes. 😸
I cried. Not only did she dognap a member of this woman’s family but she mistreated him. Glad he’s safe at home.

"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
My mother in law accidentally let my dog out without a leash while we were visiting in Las Vegas. We spent hours searching, posting flyers and even went to the nearby animal shelter, giving them a flyer with his picture and all our contact details. We searched for a few day, close to a week when we got a call from my sister in law. A friend of hers who works at the local animal shelter said my dog was brought in the day before and instead of notifying us the shelter put him in the system and had 2-3 people set up to view and possibly adopt him. We showed up right when they opened demanding our dog and thankfully we got him back. I was so mad at them for trying to sell my dog out from under me like that but apparently they do it all the time.

Maybe if the police actually investigated these thefts people wouldn’t have to take things into their own hands.
@Cmore Butts most major cities don't even prosecute these theft cases. Especially stolen cars. It's so hard to prove that the person driving the car was the one who stole it. All they have to say is a friend gave me the car and that they didn't know it was stolen.
@@Godzgoon99 receiving stolen property is a crime tho🤔
Maybe, just maybe, if people WOULD STOP STEALING, people wouldn't have to worry about taking it into their own hands. Just a thought....

@@vegandestroyer3782 but you have to prove that they knew it was stolen. It's easy to claim ignorance.
I’m sorry but if someone stole one of my dogs, there wouldn’t be a “hey that’s my puppy”…
Absolutely not. I would of knocked her out immediately. I'd take that assault charge.
Swear to goddd yo 😂😂. That’s my literal child man I’m not going for that at all
Don’t take my dog. that’s how you get shot.

In this day and age, I feel like stealing a dog or almost any pet should be considered kidnapping not grand theft.
I challenge anyone to to find a caring and responsible pet owner that considers their animals to be expensive objects.
They could have their own category, but I wouldn't classify animals with people.
Petnapping
There needs to be stricter laws when it comes to the protection and safety of animals.
I knew of this store where the owner took in a stray cat that lived in the store for years. Someone stole the cat in the middle of the day. It's insane what people will do.
Sorry but I've known multiple people who get purebred dogs and only think of them as some expensive toy to show off. And most of them didn't abuse their pet at all, putting them in training classes and giving them good food and not yelling at or hitting them.
@Tabitha I would not describe or consider those people caring pet owners. That’s still neglect and some might even consider that abuse, just the emotional kind-or lack thereof 🤷♂️
I felt the same high as the first lady that found her car. I had tools stolen while working at an apartment complex.
I knew who the thief was, he had recently bern evicted from the complex.
I knew he wouldn't go far from the neighborhood so I drove a search pattern of every street nearby
After thirty minutes I found his car, with my tools visible inside!
I called the cops. When he walked around the corner with a gas can (he had run out of gas!) and saw the cops and I the look on his face was just priceless!

"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
I can’t even describe how angry i would be if my dog was stolen from me.
People who say "Oh it's just an animal" never felt what type of love these pets can give you.
Yeah i would have to kill
I would’ve shot them since I live in Texas if they’re stealing my exotic dog that I consider a family members boy yo ass getting fried 😂😂😂

pumped up kicks starts playing

It's a good thing modern technology exists for stuff like this.
But people can also use it for bad things
@@TheTurtleBurglar yes but it can get backfired for the thieves
Modern technology is the reason the things got stolen 💀
@@User-IdkAnything This is a way to track you not thieves.
@@User-IdkAnything +a!
stealing pets is just flat out evil
Of course police will warn against how dangerous this is, but won't do a damn thing to find them in the first place. When I was robbed I found out who did it, where my stuff was, and where he was hiding all within a few days. You think the cops would have ever found my stuff? No. Not even a small chance.
Why do we protect the faces of criminals? They’re in public places! Show their faces! They shouldn’t be protected!
Have you ever heard of a lawsuit. All you need is people harassing the criminals and they would sue inside for insighting harassment.

Stealing someone’s dog is so evil. Can’t imagine what that poor pup was thinking during that whole experience. So glad he’s back with his Momma!
Yes it's like stealing my child
Honestly, i would be angry if someone stole my car and i would wish bad things to happen to that person but that's what i have insurance for. But if you were to steal one of my pets from me, you better hope the cops find you before i do.

The lady who had her dog stolen was very emotional to watch.
This is the future of getting justice. Bold thieves will require bold people to keep from being victimized
Can't believe how "natural" it is for these people to act like they've done nothing wrong with those stolen properties. Either they're sick or just plain evil.
The audacity, right? Christ have mercy on me, I was "righteously" angry while viewing this!!!

It makes my blood boil that there’s people like this with no regards for peoples personal belongings

@@blenderbachcgi same it's pretty good for a free program
I love the first lady who stalked the thief! She yanked her own shoes out of the thief’s hands! Then got all her stuff back! 👏👏👏
I'm so glad wasn't no one hurt any of these events but it was very brave of you to get your belongings back you all is very blessed
My husband and son recovered their stolen work truck themselves. A customer came in their shop and just mentioned "hey, I just saw one of you guy over on Everet a minute ago", not knowing the truck was stolen. They jumped into another truck and drove over to Everet street and it was in a driveway with the thief sleeping in it.
Stuff like that gets me really worked up. There's actually people who would defend the thief because said person doesn't have this or that. Even I been told by random strangers I don't 'need' a big vehicle a large house simply because other people don't have such things.
Everything I have wasn't given to me. I worked for it with my actual blood. I grew up in a run down trailer with lice and roaches and holes in the flooring, we didn't have a flooring to through the hallway and had to walk over a bridge we made to get to the backroom.
Now I'm being told by people I don't need those things simply because other people don't have them. They need to start working for a change.

Well done to these people for taking matters into their own hands! If they had waited for the cops to do their job, they’d probably still be waiting.
I'm glad everyone had there property back and I'm glad that little dog was back with his family aswell 👍
It angers me so much when a selfish person steals someone else’s dog! I smiled ear to ear with delight that the dognapper was caught and that a Good Samaritan stepped up and got the dog back for the real owner. Goes to show that sometimes you need to take action to get things done like getting your stolen pets back.
what if that dognapper was someone who bought the dog of the actual dognapper
@@unbound2424 well the dognapper was clearly seen in the security video taking the dog, and again walking the dog on the cellphone video. So, put two and two together.
I'd beat that person until they were knocked out
@@unbound2424 that's where the police can come in handy. this is how people get injured.
@@zeppo4169 honestly people who commit crimes deserve to be injured I think the woman should have gotten a weapon and had done sum
Stealing material things is one thing, but there's a hot place in hell for people who steal pets.
Yeah that's no theft that's a damn kidnapping. I'd feel destroyed and violated too if my dog was in another person's hands, the same as a child.
There's also a special place for people who BUY them and support the disgusting breeding practices. This dog breed in particular is known for serious health issues.
She didn't even sell it, despite that breed being worth a lot of money. That tells me she just wanted it, she didn't need the money
@@charliedyer4647 Either way there's no difference.
@@BazamO I definitely feel like it makes it worse. She wasn't stealing out of desperation, just greed
We need more people like this in the world that help people find their stolen items
Some people took my home on wheels few months ago!!! I will not give up till I find my home and the people that took it! I have nothing to lose now
I cant imagine having any of my animals taken from me. I would literally spend the rest of my life wondering what kind of life they ended up having or if they thought I abandon them. I would die just at the thought of them being mis treated
I’d literally kill someone if they did anything to my dog 😂
The fact that the thief was able to casually walk away with the dog leads me to believe the owner had left the dog unattended. That in itself is a mistreatment.
My cat was stolen once by my neighbour when he was a kitty, he escaped and never trusted anyone he doesn't recognize and prople outside. Even me if I'm outside.
That was my only thought when I decided to start a riot to find him.
yea I was more worries about that than if my dog got hit by a car..just not knowing would break me..even tho I'd put our a polo on him and find him if they brought him to any vets office
Why blur them out? Those suspects who stole things should be seen.
Legal reasons
I was thinking, guilt until innocent. However, now I think it might be the same reason lawyers in small towns try to move high profile cases to other cities. the criminal can’t file appeals by saying they didn’t get a fair trail because their face was plastered all over the place or everyone sees them as guilty because of media footage. I can imagine how many criminals would use that excuse.
You kno the truth love.
@kuyswe Thanks for catching my typo!💯
I absolutely understand how she feels about her dog. I'd go nuts if my pooch was stolen and I definitely cannot be held responsible for what I would do
To Matthew Santoro: Thanks for helping out a man who confronted someone who stole his wife's car. Kudos to you.
@Blaz Cerar he as a gaming channel, also follow his socials to see what he's up to, gald to help
So the law protects criminals by having their faces blurred and not the victims so they can be targets for revenge. Anyone that commits a crime should have his/her face made public so innocent people can protect themselves from these worthless beings. They should be publicly shamed and humiliated if not more.
Yes, however I feel for shootings they should be different. I feel that for mass shootings people do it to become famous as one of the main reasons so for those types of crimes their names or pictures not be made public. For these smaller crimes, however, I feel these people should be ridiculed and made public
Innocent until proven guilty
@@davidkatz7972
I disagree, for shootings they need to publish the name and face, let people shun them out of their towns and face death by people that know the justice system is a failure.
@@_Circus_Clapped_ but the relatives of the shooter could be threatened or hurt by people who want revenge
@@mqodnwlo Screw that, the surveillance video shows it and it's enough. There is no justification for any crime whatsoever.
What the heck is Mathew Santoro doing there!? I’m surprised no one else seems to recognize him. He’s the top 5 creepy pasta guy
He looks like 90% of all other bald guys
Who said anything about looks? They directly said his name in the video
I noticed it too! Glad y’all know who he is
This guy is a dbd legend
LMAOOOO I WAS SOO SHOCKED . YEAH IM SURPRISED NO ONE ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT THAT LOLLLL
My dog has never been stolen, but has ran out a couple times. Luckily we found her not too far down the road and brought her back home🥰.
Georgie is the cutest dog. I would consider that a case of kidnapping. So glad that guy got involved and got Georgie back.
I can’t really blame people for doing this but be careful if you do. If someone took my dog they better hope I never find them.

A woman tried stealing my wallet many years ago when I turned and grabbed her hand. She tried to play victim by yelling rape when I hit her at least 4 timers, knocking her out, ( I think she was out after the first punch but I was enraged at the audacity of her.) later I heard she made a statement. Not sure if the police were aware of her behaviour and dismissed her nonsense.
Anyway, here I am.
She deserved the hits !

That car theft where Matthew Santoro filmed the suspect fleeing, looks like a weird dream that I usually have.
wow the nerve of that lady. stole her car, her wallet and her shoes.

A dog is a family member.
A friend.
A confidant.

Still a thing...
the dog literally does not care which human it lived with
Stealing wallet/materials, it’s can be replaced. You steal my pet, I will raise all hell!!!!!!!!
I would track you down and BEAT THE LIVING HECK OUT OF THEM
No way man- Those of us who buy/use tracking devices do so because it's cheaper than replacing a vehicle. Insurance companies will wiggle their way out of paying and above all else, these fkn criminals need to be held accountable. I don't think the cops give a care at all. BTW, I love my pets too
@@Bdamazyn just learn the law and get proper insurance and they can’t play any games w you but that’s only if you have half a brain and don’t get taken advantage of
Getting your ID replaced when it's stolen in another state before you get it switched is a hell all of it's own (couldn't imagine being in another country & having everything stolen)...and also identity thieves really mess up lives- it's not just simply replacing everything or telling a credit card company you didn't make the charges.... They deserve much harsher punishment than the slap on the wrist that they get.
It can’t be so easily replaced
These criminals never learn. At least these were happy endings.
He has the biggest little heart in the tiniest little body ❤❤❤ Way to go Georgies momma for not giving up
I had dog tracker on my dogs collar and the thief threw it away HOWEVER, I sewed one into her harness and when I found her, I dropped kicked her and gave her street justice. AND when ppl realized she stole my dog bc I was hysterically crying- they said she attacked me first. Ppl don’t get that dogs mean everything to ppl. She was given to me to cope with my 9/11 trauma & was my first puppy. My hubs had to pull me off bc I think I would’ve killed her.

@@YoureSoCreezy Sometimes they can’t if they don’t have enough info. Advice: If you have something valuable, write down the serial number so if it gets stolen you can give that to the police and increase chances of recovering it.
get a gun, it doesn’t have to be expensive, just a gun or maybe even pepper spray

I restored a 260Z when I was 20, and someone stole it while I was at work at Circuit City. I found it that same day about half a mile down the street because I put a fuel kill switch and a locking gas cap on it, so they thought they ran out of gas.
Why do people blur out criminals when they do stuff like this? It’s helping to solve a case and then they can get mocked for the rest of their life
If somebody steals your dog and your dog is right there in front of you even if they're with the thief. Don't say s*** to them walk up and grab your dog, then tell them that is YOUR dog but don't give them the heads up.
I can imagine how exhilarating and intoxicating it is to do what all of these people did and thank you for those who pitched in to help.

She stole my heart.
Awe my heart when the pup went in for a 2nd kiss. Glad he’s back safe and sound with the owner. How can people be so dumb just to steal other peoples pets and also she was being cruel by mistreating the pup. Karma is a B and it will come back 10X worse for her

Always take these matters into your own hands. The cops might be encouraged to arrive on scene faster to prevent a worse incident and it will discourage other undesirables from stealing. They won't want to go through the increased risk of getting caught.
