My dog has gone missing. As large animals don't generally disappear from fully secured apartments of their own accord and there was no evidence of a more conventional method of escape, I can only assume one of you is responsible. I'd express shock and disappointment that anyone could be so callous as to abduct a pet, but past experience has shown that some members are more than capable of such depravity.
So instead I'm offering a reward of $5000 US for the dog's return, with an additional stipend available for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the party or parties responsible. The reward will be payable in any convertible Earth currency, negotiable into another form for those on other worlds.
The victim is a prize-winning Belgian Tervuren who answers to the names 'Sieghard' or 'Sigi.' At the time of the abduction he was wearing a collar of brown leather, recognizable by its bronze plaque, which is engraved with his full name, and its identification tags, also issued in his full name for the city of Los Angeles. He obeys commands in both English and German. If you have any information on his whereabouts contact me immediately.
To his kidnapper: He's an animal, not some lifeless piece of jewelry. If you have any sense of decency you'll return him safely and allow me to deal with whatever damage this crime has already inflicted on him.
((OOC: In a fit of panic righteous fury Edgeworth jumped online and posted immediately without bothering to check for others complaining of the same problem. He hasn't seen Kid's post about the thefts yet, feel free to point it out to him.))
