Puppy Stolen for Gas Money

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 04:58 AM PDT

Meet Jon “incident” Marcus a.k.a John Herscher.  He stole someone’s one-year-old beagle-terrier puppy to sell on Craigslist for $125 in gas money to get out of Nashville.  I’d say this was a joke, but he’s e-mailed me back regarding an inquiry to buy the puppy, and seems pretty serious about it.

He posted the following on his facebook profile “opulence”:

Jon ‘incident’ Marcus: stuck in tenneessee anyone willing to wire me money let me know or wanting to buy a dog I stole for gas money le me know!!

FB_Friend:
You’re kidding about the dog, right?

I’ve tried to get a photo out of him to aid in finding the true owners, but to no avail.  Here’s the Cragslist ad:

A cute, loving 1 year old Beagle – Russle Terrier mix in need of a home for the price of $125. She’s friendly, doesn’t bite and utterly loves children. However, we can’t keep her any longer and she deserves a nice home. She’s an overall bundle of love and fun and will keep you busy for hours! She has all her shots and if you get her, she’ll come with a bag of dog food and dog toys. If you want her, I’m located in Winchester and you can contact me at 216-287-2999 or at JonsanityMarcus@yahoo.com

If this wasn’t disturbing enough already, just read the list of causes that Jon is a fan of on Facebook:

I wonder if local police will take up this case? It’s a little early to call now, but I hope this gets resolved well for the dog. Either way, I see this going viral and this kid getting a good dose of reality.
