    They left the $2,000 laptop, my tools and TV but took this one plastic part but authorities have a suspect:

    So far, she has taken the K9th amendment and refused to cough up the missing part. A search of likely hideouts continues.

    ps. Lesson's learned: do not leave doggy toy shaped parts in accessible areas.

    I wouldn't want to search for the existing hiding place. But give her some time (maybe that time has passed) and she'll put it someplace you can locate it (with rubber gloves). And of course you will see those wonderful sad eyes and reward her for turning the part over to you.

    I'll be happy to represent her. Even the guilty deserve legal representation.

    Not to mention a nice walk, some time in the park and some behind-the-ear scratching.

    You'll need to get out the waterboard. The suspect obviously isn't going to talk.

    Good luck getting a guilty verdict from a jury on a suspect with a face like that! (very cute!!!)

    A good lawyer will point out that it's roughly the same size, shape and color as a rawhide chew toy!

    At least you can narrow it down. I have 4 fur children and usually a foster or two. They can all look so darn innocent!

    Where those parts the rear sway bars on the Prius? It sure feels like they could be judging by the cars handling. :p

    Actually, now that I htink of it. What are those little likages in the rear of the Prius which can be viewed right behind and below the brake assemblies?
