Couple sold neighbor's lost puppy for $50

[Hum]

LEECHBURG, PA ? Police say a Pennsylvania couple sold a neighbor's lost puppy for $50 rather than return it to its owner.

Police in Leechburg, about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, say a golden retriever and a Rottweiler puppy wandered onto the property of Scott and Roxanne Duff on Sept. 3. Police say the couple helped return the golden retriever to its owner, but they told officers that the puppy had run away.

Police tell the Valley News Dispatch the Duffs really sold the puppy to a Pittsburgh woman through Craigslist. The dog has since been returned.

The Duffs' phone was disconnected Wednesday. They are charged with conspiracy, not making a reasonable effort to return lost property and making a false report.

Wow... Hate people like that.

You'd think the couple could have gotten a $50 reward from the rightful owners. ;)

Could have been worse. They might have baked it in the oven and invited the neighbours round for a BBQ.

^ You are right. The way people are these days it sure could have been worse.
