    Im desperately trying to get my cat back from a truck driver who stole him off the property where my shop is and need help locating this man and my cat. This driver delivered mushrooms to my landlord in bradeville PA from palumbo foods in avondale PA on march 9th. This man is a black male around 6ft tall, he was wearing a black puma hoodie and had an african or haitian accent. my cat who's name is buddy is a slightly larger all white aduly male cat who is fixed. he doesnt have a chip. we would sometimes call him bud or butt because my nephew has a speech issue and couldnt say bud but always said butt when he was little. buddy's favorite meal is soft canned cat food which we always called "butt stuff". its a running sort of joke because of my nephew calling him butt and well canned cat food does look like butt stuff lol. if you ask him if he wants butt stuff he will respond to it. im very heart broken about this, palumbo foods wont answer me or help me by giving any information about this driver. the police dont care because at this point he could be anywhere in the country plus they just pushed it off like "its a stupid cat, deal with it..." ########. i do have the drivers cell phone number thanks to my landlord which i did call and ask him if he seen a white cat on march 9th when he was parked in the driveway and he answered my question before i even finished asking by saying "NO NO NO NO, I NO SEE NO CAT...." than laughed about it. ive attached some pictures from my CCTV system those they are just about useless and a few pictures of my cat. Please help me find him!!! i just want him back!!! thanks everyone and stay safe out there on road.

    Here's to hoping the person who did that is identified by their dental records after you get your cat back

    I get that but I doubt if Palumbo food would even be able to say or do squat.
    "Did you file a police report?"
    "Are you sure you saw our driver take the cat?"
    "We will ask around an email you within ten working days"

    If it were me I would be tracking the truck down physically. He has to come to the terminal sooner or later

    I'm sure your cat has already been turned into some sort of Hatian dinner.

    no police report, not enough concrete evidence yet. its hard to explain but yes he took my cat. he was very clever about how he did it too. made sure he was in a very dark area on the camera system.

    Have you contacted law enforcement, and they told you ‘not enough evidence yet’ or you are just assuming that?
    If you are hitting a dead end with the local police, contact your Sheriff Department, they ‘can’ sometimes be more accommodating to cases of suspected property theft. Local police are not much more than ‘ordinance enforcers’.
