No i never got the plate. I was in the back yard ,as our yard i call it ,the front is around 1 1/2 acres and back is around 4 acres .The car was an late 80's early 90's gm olds or chevy lookin kinda like a corsica style. I had to run to the house and get the keys then go after them. And as to who would steal a dog some A$$ who needs a good beating. there have been alot of pure bred dogs stolen in the 3 area counties around here this year for some reason. I hope this person messes up and i see my dog as he has is what they call a blue bassett they are pretty rare i am told . i have only seen 1 other his mom.
