Thief Who Stopped to Greet Dog Caught

And now a follow up to a story we told you about weeks ago, you might remember, we showed you this video from a family whose garage was broken into while the thief was making off with a very pricey electric bike. By the way, it was worth $300. He stopped to pet the family dog. Ace even saying you're the coolest dog I've ever known and I love you too. You're a sweetheart. Not many thieves do that. Well, now we have an update. According to San Diego police, they were able to track down the thief due to an anonymous tip. The 42 year old suspect has been arrested. Ace, the dog and the rest of the family have been reunited with the bike. Just goes to show that you never know the potential fallout of a viral video. Ok. The guy did not look 42. He just looked like some teenager breaking into a garage, but I'm glad there's a happy ending. This is a very San Diego thing. Tell me why we're very friendly. I'm from San Diego. I can see our thieves stopping the pet dogs. That makes sense. Yeah.
