AMSTERDAM —
A Dutchman who invested $1,000 in a police-trained guard dog woke up two days later to discover burglars had stolen it, police said Tuesday.
“There are clear signs the house was broken into while the man was asleep,” said a police spokesman in the Dutch village of Schalkhaar.
“It is possible the dog just walked off--but that’s unlikely, as it was trained and certified by the police,” he said, adding that nothing else was stolen in the raid.
