Odd enough, this isn't the first time a Chihuahua has been taken to commit a crime.
This little fella (Chico)
Was recovered and adopted by my mother after his owners abandon him when she, my mother, inquired as to why they were removing bundles of shingles from the house next door at 6am on a Sunday morning. She got a "no hablo ingles" and the men made a hasty departure, without their criminal accomplice. It was later verified by the build manager that they indeed were stealing the bundles of shingles and these men were not part of any of his construction crews.
Chico now been 100% reformed and has not committed any crimes since.
