Neighbors fear theft ring responsible for missing Yorkies
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Several Indianapolis dog owners say their Yorkies have gone missing and some fear a criminal theft ring could be responsible.
Peggy Allawat, 69, from the Castleton area, has had her 7-year-old Yorkie, named Lil’ Bit, for six years. He was stolen the evening of July 18 in front of her neighbor’s home. He had walked from Allawat’s yard to the neighbor’s yard when a home security camera caught a green SUV driving up to the house and seemingly snatching the dog.
“She came out, the neighbor said, ‘Is that your dog?’ The driver of the vehicle, said ‘Yes,’” Allawat said. “The passenger, which is a teenager, got out and took the dog, and they went right back out of the neighborhood and gone in less than three minutes.”
Allawat believes a woman and teenage girl were inside of the car.
Immediately after, Allawat contacted police and filed a report. According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, that investigation was ongoing. Her dog has a chip, leading her to reach out to that company.
The company could not provide a location for the dog, but did notify area veterinarians of the missing Yorkie.
Following filing the report and checking with the chip company, Allawat hung up signs around the city and began going live on Facebook every day demanding answers. As of Friday, she has been doing a daily video for 43 days.
The woman Allawat believes stole her dog contacted her after seeing some of her Facebook posts. She told Allawat she didn’t know that was her dog and that she had simply found Lil’ Bit. She also offered to return the dog, if given time.
That was over a month ago.
Through making live videos on Facebook, Allawat has received major support by hundreds of viewers. She’s also come across several others with stories like hers.
“It’s almost like we’re a network. I don’t know them,” Allawat said. “But, we reach out to each other, to say, ‘Hey, this is my dog,’ or ‘This is the car that took mine, is that the same car that took yours?’”
Several of those families have reached out to News 8 about their missing Yorkies.
One of those families owns a 10-year-old Yorkie named Carter.
He was also taken not too far from his family’s yard and has a collar with an address on it.
Allawat fears their experiences could only be scratching the surface.
“My thought is, whoever has him now, does not know that he’s stolen,” Allawat said.
She is focused solely on getting her dog back.
“Every day, every hour, every minute, she has caused the devastation,” Allawat said about the woman who stole her dog. “Do the right thing and give him back. He is stolen. He’s not yours. He’s our baby.”

Olympians Biles, Thomas continue Indy trip with visit to Lilly – Indianapolis Business Journal
Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Co. made a big marketing push for the Summer Olympics, including buying airtime to feature gymnast Simone Biles and her mother in ads for diabetes treatment Mounjaro.
They’ll always have Paris. But the relationship didn’t end there.
On Thursday, Biles and Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas surprised thousands of Lilly workers as featured speakers at a company-only event and discussed their successes through teamwork and dedication. Their appearance at Lilly’s downtown campus included a questions-and-answers session with employees.
Lilly is a sponsor of Team USA and has relationships with several American Olympic athletes to promote specific products and initiatives. Thomas has been featured in Lilly commercials focusing on eliminating health inequities.
Biles and her mother, Nellie, star in ads for Mounjaro, although Simone Biles doesn’t have diabetes or take the medicine for other uses. Nellie Biles is a diabetic but doesn’t take the drug.
On Wednesday evening, Biles and Thomas attended an Indiana Fever game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and posed for photos with the team after the Fever’s 84-80 victory over the Connecticut Sun.
