Oh poor Sue . what a plight. Don't know much about these matters, but don't think the news would be good.

Were they in the backyard ? Seems, certainly, like someone has climbed over and let them out. The pound will have no sympathy with this, they have rounded them up, looked after them and the charge for the night is as stated. No grey areas I would think.

How to get it back ? Should think virtually impossible unless you have some sort of insurance to cover outside premises for theft, etc., but may not cover this.

Even if reported to the police, they will certainly look into the fact that someone was trying to break into your house, but what can they do about the dog escape and recompense for the collection ? Nothing, unless the culprits are caught and you could issue a private prosecution or summat like that.

Aaaw .. so sorry ... but at least they have come to no harm xx

Not much help am I ? Just trying to be realistic.
