Sorry this happened to you. This week we had our pressure washer stolen off our screened in pool deck. They sliced the screen (could have opened the screeen door) and took it but forgot the hose. Our dog sleeps by our bed and our bedroom is also off the pool area, our dog barked. LOL I told him to stop and he did. Next morning my husband noticed the screen cut and the pressure washer gone. Police don't think it will be found. We got the hose and they got the washer. I believe what goes around comes around.
Glad I didn't let the dog out as the theft had come prepared to slice the screen and I wouldn't want anything to happen to my dog.
