Wow! Almost 10 years. I really hope this poor boy has been cared for well during that time. To have been stolen from his owner and kept away from her for so long is awful. I hope Ollie is well and that this little family mow have a happy future for some time xxx

Still no news but always looking x

Still no news of Ollie then ot those low life thieving scumbags? I still live in hope for the family.
Unknown
Hi me again. Presume no news of Ollie yet? You know they say that most people have some good in us. Prove you have some good in you, and return Ollie to his rightful owners. Also kit was a very b ad example for the young gkirl in the car. I will add £50.00 to the reward money being offered for the safe return of Ollie. My late maternal grandmother was born in Ireland, but she was a giver, not a taker. If anyone has any information on Ollie`s whereabouts, I implore you to contact his owners. or contact DogLost in confidence. To the people who took Ollie, how would you feel if someone took a much loved pet from the young girl in the car? Think about it. Am praying hard for your return Olliex
Unknown
Does anyone know if Ollie has been found yet? Gone very quiet on his page. I e.mailed three vets in the area where was stolen about three weeks ago, sadly no reply; rude or what? Hope all is being done to reunited Ollie with his RIGHTFUL owners. Come on Ollie show yourself. The low life who took you away from your family deserve to rot in hell. One day they will get their comeuppance; bring it on
Unknown
I often think of Ollie, and the scum who took him away from his family. So hoping he will be reunited soon. Come on Ollie get yourself found SOON.

Hi , don't know if you found your dog , I remember the story , just a long shot , but was looking through gumtree today and I see a ad advertising a female chihuahua named holly aged 3/4 which struck me funny , didnt seem to know the age , and it says there in lewisham there asking £180 which seems cheap and replys by web no phone number, and using a web photo , not actual dog , is this female or cover up , just strange quite close to you , and the way there saying things , could be innocent but ???
Unknown
Often think of Ollie, and do hope he is found soon. Paws, and fingers xd.

Any more news on Olly yet?

Ollies appeal video .....
Please help us to find Ollie...........

Ollie the Chihuahua was STOLEN from his 12 year old owner Tae, on the 29th August 2012 and has been missing ever since. Three men and a lady, with a small child around 3-4 years old, with blonde curly hair, pulled up in a blue saloon car, they had strong Irish accents and had a stanley knife. They then snatched Ollie from Tae, whilst she was walking him on Arroll Road, Beckenham . They left her in agony as they run over her foot before speeding off! This has left her heartbroken as Ollie is her best friend!!!
We have started a campaign to find Ollie and are offering a £1000 reward, for his safe return. NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Have you seen Ollie??? Please contact us on 07715749494 with any information.

Have bumped due to the new sightings in the Addiscombe area, message sent to Rachel via FB recommending emailing vets/pet shops etc in that area x
Millys Mum
ellejay - if you want Ollie's page bumped, it's probably best if you or Rachael call or email DogLost Admin.
racheal01
The possible sightings have been in the Addiscombe area so if anyone does have any info or sees them please call us on 07715 749 494. Have been at Paws in the Park today handing our flyers and posters.
ellejay
Is it possible to bump this ?

There has been a few more sightings of a possible Ollie witha scruffy looking man, all the info goes on his facebook page, and i know there is alot of people who dont use facebook, if it is him he is still in area, and hoping it will only be a matter of time till he is found.
Millys Mum
Thanks CJ - just off to work now (for the afternoon) and so will check my emails and Ollie's page on my return. Good to hear that things may be moving in the right direction.
DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator
Thaks Millys mum ( i will update an email to you) Spoken to owners partner just now . Things are moving i wont say too much on here in case eyes are watching this site.
Millys Mum
Such a shame that we aren't getting updates anymore. I tried my hardest last night to help when I received a call & text from the ever-caring ellejay. I even sent a late night text to one of my police contacts but the problem was that we received this info too late. We don't expect owners to post sensitive info on here but PLEASE call Admin with any important info and they will do their best to respond. I mentioned CJ's name to ellejay last night but knew that it was far too late for CJ to be contacted and for anything constructive to be done. But, having said all that, I hope Ollie's family get more info that leads to him being reunited. Fingers crossed...
ellejay
Thanks ladies, this needs to be chased up asap if we can,:)

I've just left a message on DL Admin's number. Is it possible for someone to call me (I've left my landline number in the message) and/or Rachel asap (number as above). Thanks.
racheal01
We have been out flyering in bromley and Croydon all day and had a great response from the public! We have also added ollie details to the Paul o'grady site on Facebook get on there and share the page if you are able to and keep up the good work! x
racheal01
Thanks again guys for all your hard work and efforts. The ref number from BDCH is just them letting us know a report has been filed for Ollie.
ellejay
Also could crime stoppers be contacted ? They do a slot on itvs this morning programme, after all a crime has been committed, especially on a young girl so this could be of interest to show this on their programme.
Also crime watch on bbc.
ellejay
Millysmum I will try and update on here for those that don't use f/b or twitter the info I know .

Racheal is doing such a great job, ollie is very well known around beckenham and bromley now , there are posters on nearly every street I turn down , twitter is spreading the word brilliantly , and people are sharing all over Facebook .
I heard over heard 2 young girls in bromley high street talking about him being missing , and a few patients at my work have talked about him.

We need to now go furthur out to poster etc, as he may no longer be in immediate area.

I have postered grove park, but run out of ink on printer, so hope to get some more of racheal on Saturday . I will then poster downham Bellingham catford and up in new addington . I wil be going down my caravan next weekend in kent coast so will poster down there as well, but hoping he will be back by then.

racheal01
Is the BDCH ref just to keep an eye out for Ollie or does this mean they have some information?

Ok ive bumped DUE TO MEDIA COVERAGE- but if you have link could you put it here please.CJ
Millys Mum
I don't 'do' Facebook (nor Twitter come to that) and so won't be able to read the Ollie updates. Good media coverage on page 5 of this week's News Shopper. Could DL Admin bump Ollie's page please. C.J - very good point about DL's numerous contacts and anonymous calls into DL. These phone calls have been instrumental in reuniting so many of our missing dogs, that it would be a shame just to rely on Facebook, etc., especially as many registered DL Helpers like me don't have Facebook accounts. I hope that the News Shopper article brings about Ollie's safe return.
DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator
Hope owner will use doglost posters as our number is on it and we get tip offs from sources who want to remain anonymous. I have sent email but to owner so they have my details.
The lead from homebase needs to be followed up from the source that made the comment so that date and time is worked out. Stores often only keep CCTV for a limited time so hope that contact has been made to which ever facebook page the comment was made on.
While facebook is BRILLIANT to sprad the word we cannot monitor them all so its vital that important details such as this are made direct on to this site so they can be picked up and leads followed. CJ
racheal01
Olllies facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/367708823308837/
racheal01
Have followed up on the homebase lead but need a call from police to let us view the CCTV and they need to know a date and time which we do not have. Pets at home have posters in the store but can't help to jog their memory. Tesco also have posters up. Thanks for all the advise and comments
S4sugar
I would be a good idea to put his correct colour on the posters and details. Ollie is black & cream, (actually a tricolour) not black & white.
ellejay
Has this info been followed up do we know ?

I am going to Pets at home in purely way tomorrow and we inform them about ollie.
There is also a market/boot sale I think on tuesday mornings behind homebase Peter pans pool one in beckenham / catford, there has been suspicions that a missing dog from here was sold on there, so may be worth taking a look.

Have Tesco in Elmer's end taken in a poster ? You know how busy that place is.

Twitter is doing brill with all the retweeting, so many people know about Ollie now.

Hi, I'm miles away from this area so can't be much help but I've just been reading the article on the Newsshopper site and someone has posted the following comment:

"emzb21 says...
7:58pm Sat 1 Sep 12

hi, posted this on a group on fb and this woman put this : omg...i saw a dog like this in sidcup the girl had curly hair and was hiding the dog in her jacket but it was homebase in sidcup.dont know whether its this one or not they kept laughing hmm!!
They have cctv in homebase ?hope it helps x"

Not sure if anyone would have seen this, but thought I'd post it on here anyway in case someone wanted to check it out.
valerieWA7
What is Ollie's FB page please? x
ellejay
Been sharing all over. i know that the tv programme ' THIS MORNING ' do a pet section with Pam St Clement, maybe get them contacted to inform them of this, you just never know they may actually show it as he was stolen from a young girl.
Have all the vets been given a poster in area ? Contact Foal farm in Biggin Hill, Pdsa in Croydon, Celia Hammond animal centre in Lewisham. If he has been sold on, hopefully someone will scan for his chip.
Maggie
I've copied Ollie's pics, grouped together and shared on my FB group, my page and others are sharing too.

Just to let you know that an email is being circulated by the ever-caring Hayes and Coney Hall Safer Neighbourhood Police Team via their so-called Dog Watch scheme and so a huge THANK YOU to them!
racheal01
Thanks for all the comments. In answer to your questions ellejay it was in arrol road in beckenham at 6.30pm on the 29th august. If you would like a poster please send me your email address and I will send you the poster we have been putting up. Also goes for anyone else who would like a poster. Thanks again for all the kind comments and offers of advice.

Just seen the f/b & Twitter page, so am sharing all over, we need to get Ollie To Hot To Handle !!

So sorry to read this - terrible.
If you are going to look on the free ad sites do also look under the spelling chiwawa. I shall have a look myself too.
ellejay
So sorry just seen this, total scumbags.

I work in Elmers End, and always in Beckenham. So will spread the word asap.

Where abouts in Beckenham was he stolen ? was it daytime or evening ?

Ollie is a gorgeous boy and his colourings stand out well, so hopefully he will be spotted soon.

Get posters in the local pubs round beckenham, as they may try and sell him on in a pub if you think they are travellers.

Check daily all the free ads for dogs for sale. Contact all local cab firms as they are always out driving in area. Get posters put up in Bywood woods. They may be travellers that live in houses.

i need to get a poster so i can put one in my work, alot of people come in daily so may have seen him around.

i really hope he is found safe soon, POSTERS really are key, you can never have to many or poster to far out.xx
Millys Mum
What an awful thing to happen. Glad to see that Baggy Dog is already on the case. I know that we had travellers 'camping' on the Harvington Estate just before the Bank Holiday but know that they were moved on pretty swiftly and I believe they were gone by last Sunday week. Where in Beckenham did this happen and, unless it jeopardises things, can we have a little more detail including time of day. What makes you think they were travellers? Did you get a make of car, model and registration number? Apart from Baggy Dog's good suggestion to print out business card sized contact details, DogLost can also send you mini-flyers (4 to an A4 page). When requested, these will be sent to your email address. I presume you have contacted the police and obtained a crime reference number. Do Ward Security know (they patrol our local parks assisted by dogs)? And what about the local Safer Neighbourhood Police teams? Are they aware? But, as Baggy Dog has already said, posters are the single most important factor in spreading the word and making Ollie the best known and hottest boy in town? And yes, it's essential to check out the Gumtree, Pets4Homes, epupz, ukclassified and preloved websites as ellejay spotted her own stolen dog on two of these websites! I have a number of contact numbers and would be happy to pass these on to you. My mobile is only PAYG but, if you wish, I can send you a text for you to call me or I can call you on your landline, if you have one. Good Luck!
racheal01
Thank you baggy dog. Ollie is microchipped we are getting the number put on here today. Posters are currently being circulated so fingers cross he will be back with us soon. He as actually stolen by travllers while our daughter was walking him.
Safedog Crash Tested Car CratesBaggy Dog
I've delivered posters to vet and pet shop in Upper Elmers End Road this morning. It's certainly worth getting a couple of hundred posters printed off and circulated as soon as possible, to make Ollie too hot to handle. Also print out business card size contact details to hand out to dog walkers. Check out Gumtree. Newshopper goes to press on Monday - have an advert ready to put in next week if Ollie's not home by then. Can you let us know if Ollie's tagged and/or microchipped? I'm sure Millys Mum and Ellejay will be on here soon with some more advice.
