 | The break-in and theft of a family pet Monday morning has left a 15-year-old Pleasanton girl heartbroken.
"They stole my best friend and our loved pet Holly," said Cynthia Castronovo. "She is a 5-year-old Pug who is the most sweetest and gentle pet anyone could ever know. I miss her so much and my family, including myself, are very distraught over our loss."
"It's very hard for me to grasp how such a despicable person could ever resort to stealing our family dog," she continued. "Holly is my very best friend, she sleeps with me every night, and to go about these days without her is very hard on me."
Entry was gained to the home, in the 400 block of San Gabriel Court, around 9-10 a.m. Monday morning by breaking a siding glass door. Also stolen were jewelry, all of the family's electronics and other valuable items.
But the worst part to Cynthia was that the thieves made away with Holly.
"I just miss my dog so much," she said.

Posted by Sue, a resident of another community, on Oct 9, 2012 at 11:49 pm I would be so heartbroken if someone took my dogs, so I feel so awful for Cynthia. I hope and pray that someone finds Holly and brings her back home where she belongs. I'm going to post this on my Facebook page to help get the word out.

Posted by Ptown native , a resident of the Stoneridge neighborhood, on Oct 10, 2012 at 8:32 am This is very disturbing that someone would do such a thing.
I pray these no-good thieves cannot sleep at night and are
physically sick until they return this dog to the rightful family.
The Veterinarians all over should have a flyer with a picture
of Holly and her story. Some day she will have to go to a Vet
and she will be identified. Hopefully. Such horrible people.

Posted by Mac, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 10, 2012 at 8:52 am Might the dog have run off through the broken door, to get away from the perps? Lets hope she turns up ... But you should start looking.

San Ramon Observer is a member (registered user) of PleasantonWeekly.com This sounds a lot like a copycat dognap of the little girl's puppy in San Jose. Raise a big reward and someone with your dog will miraculously appear.

Stand in front of your home with a poster of the dog and a reward offered if it is returned at a shelter or other safe place. Best of luck.

Posted by New People Exercising in Park, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 11, 2012 at 11:21 am I live near a park and have noticed a few new "runners" in exercise outfits sort of walking/jogging and looking at the houses as they pass them. Two of them just this week around 8:30am got my attention because they didn't look like they were exercising but just really looking at the neighborhood. FYI in case same thing may be happening in your neighborhood/block and people are casing the area.

Posted by ccwc, a resident of the Jensen Tract neighborhood, on Oct 12, 2012 at 10:02 am I urge EVERYONE (if they haven't already) to start up a Neighborhood Watch Program - Call the PPD - they can get you started. It has worked WONDERS for our beautiful neighborhood! Well worth the time and effort!
