Speaker 1: This is so, this is this is incredible. What when

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: and how did you get into stolen pet investigations?

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: Well, when I first got when was years ago where

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: the lady rang up instead a three year old daughter

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: was devastated. The photo was in jail and somebody had

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: stolen the stepfi. We went down to Rockingham and looked

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: at the address, but they thought this young boy twelve

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: year old boy there. Apparently we're able to ascertain that

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: they also had an a property of Midland, so we're

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: going at the Middland. When we got there there's the

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: rowd iron gate with mesh across the bottom, so we

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: knew that Chops was there. Knocked on my door and

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: asked to get Chops and they co operated they had to,

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: and we took her back and then came to the

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: little girl.

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow, a happy ending.

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: What's what you what's the longest time for a pet

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: to have gone missing that you've been able to retrieve

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: a pet? As you know, we hear stories of years.

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: I mean, have you but.

46
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: We had sorry but give it. A case where a

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: person was living with a person down Munda john Way

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: and when they left, they took the dog and the

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: person didn't know where she moved to to a while

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: before she decided ring a private vesco. When she rang me,

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: I was able to track her down and work gone

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: to the house and knocked on my door, and the

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: dog comes the door with the new owner and recognized

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 3: the time, and we lived with the dog.

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Never give up.

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of some of these designer dog puppies these

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: days you can pay more for than a car. So

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: is it the cost that is the main motivation for

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: people stealing pets?

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: I think there's one reason why they would. Yeah. Obviously,

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: as you say, some of those little dogs, you know

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: they're for a five thousand dogs? Yeah?

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what about in custody cases that would be

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: that would be a thing too, I expect not unlike.

65
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: That would be doubly tricky.

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: Is there another.

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Is there a lot of waiting around in cars wearing disguises,

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: using binoculars that sort of thing?

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Every day? I've got people that work for me. My god,

70
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: We've got a country jobs at each top of day,

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: so that will be interesting.

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So I was going to say, there is so much

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: work on you've actually got a team.

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got some people that work for me, but

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: they actually freelance. They actually do work for the companies,

76
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: but they're so professional that they're in demand. And I

77
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: think myself and Robin Cottman she gets, you know, we

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: get the first pigre I reckon, you know, is to

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: when they're available.

80
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: It's sad that it's a growing business for you. Well

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: not sad for you, but it is a growing y.

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: It's happening with people not going to work and attending

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: their crook. You know. The insurance companies have always got

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: work on people, so they've got these disabilities when they.

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Haven't and then they're outdoing.

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: Other things. Dog acts.

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Yes, well, it's it's absolutely fascinating and.

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: I think it's just a line of work that most

89
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: people never would have given thought to that that it's

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: out there unless unless, of course, you really really need it.

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: And Mick, that's the good thing. You're there when they

92
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,440
