I am a big proponent of microchipping. It would make it easier for everyone (ie: pet owners, law enforcement agencies, vets, etc.) to get pets back to their owners. AND- if you had a sign posted stating your pet is microchipped for identification purposes, perhaps the theives would mosey on down the road!

These people are messing with the wrong counties. Around here people's dogs are family. I'll wager first homeowner that catches them in the act and bam. No more dog thieves.
