"A dognapping that took place Monday morning in San Mateo was likely thwarted in part by morning traffic on 101, and the poodle/doodle that was stolen was safely returned. The incident happened around 9:05 am in the area of Hayward Avenue and Palm Avenue in San Mateo, according to the San Mateo Police Department. A masked suspect reportedly approached a woman from behind who was walking her daughter's dog"
"The victim said the suspect picked the dog up off the ground and was able to unhook its leash, nearly pushing the victim to the ground in the process. He then fled into a nearby vehicle, and witnesses suggested that the vehicle had headed toward 101 south. San Mateo police then traveled down 101 and located the vehicle just north of Marsh Road in Menlo Park, and were able to initiate a traffic stop."
