Please watch for these stolen minis!

Nan Van · 10-24-2009, 10:54 AM

Our two minis were stolen Tuesday, Oct. 20, from the southeast side of Indianapolis -- a miniature donkey ("Burrito") and a pinto miniature horse/pony cross ("Thelwell"). Both are geldings, both are pets rather than show animals. Photos of the two are online at http://h.imagehost.org/0928/missingminis.jpg, along with our contact information in case you happen to see them. Thanks for keeping your eyes open! -- Nancy

Oh sorry to hear, I do hope they turn up, Not to be rude, but by chance do you maybe know anyone that would do this to you out of spite...
How awful, keep us posted .

Oh yes.... be sure to post to Net Possee. Lots of horses have been recovered through that organization. Please keep us posted. How sad.... I would just be sick.

Kingpin · 10-24-2009, 02:52 PM

Poor little sweeties I bet they wonder when they are getting to go home. I hope they are recovered very quickly. The paint has very distinct markings so somebody will see that one for sure! Good luck.

I was wondering the same thing....have you checked the fence line? Just a idea...

I sure hope you find them. That mini horse is sooo cute! I really hope they come home soon. If they were stolen I hope they catch the jerk! How can you bring yourself to take someones animals!

Its just so wrong. (((HUGS)))

Thank you for update!

That's a relief. Glad they are both back home.

tahani z's momma · 11-03-2009, 02:44 AM

i hope u find them soon. i didnt even know people stole horses anymore. i mean not to sound like an idiot but it would seem like atleast for normal sized horses that it would be hard cause the horses around would be calling them and the trailer would be a hard thing to miss. i just figured people didnt do things that were at such a high risk of getting caught in the act.

granny2u · 11-03-2009, 07:30 PM

any word on what happened?

AnitaP · 11-04-2009, 07:47 AM

I just read this so sorry I hope you get them back soon. I looked at your website so I could see what they looked like. I know you are just devistated over this. I have 11 of them running around here and I don't know what I would do if someone would take one. I am very attached to them. I have my fingers crossed that they show up or you get a lead on who took them.

I would find away to post it at the auctions there are so many that go through them. I don't go anymore because I can't leave without taking one home.

Please keep us posted.
