Title: dogs and van stolen

please help dogs and van stolen in bradford west yorkshire dog reg PAW
Hi all
Many of you will know Angela Briggs who usually attends HTM shows accompanied by her friend Karen Bartaby
Last night Angela’s van was stolen from the community centre, Bierley, Nr Bradford, West Yorks where they were holding a training session – both Drift and Chester were still in the van
As yet there is no word of either the van or, more importantly, the dogs.
I’ve asked Angela to forward me photographs which I will send as soon as I get them
If you live in the area please keep your eyes open for the two of them, obviously don’t know if they are still with the van or have been dumped out of it somewhere.
Angela has been in contact with all local rescue agencies, vets, radio etc but as yet nothing
I can’t imagine how she must be feeling, I’m devastated and they aren’t mine.
Permission to cross posts to as many lists as you can
Thanks

'It happened outside Bierley Community Centre, Bierley, Bradford at 10.20pm Tuesday 28th, I have been up all night searching for them, I or the police haven't a clue where the van is or where my boys are, I am absolutely destraught as I write this - its now 03.56am Wed 29th.
As soon as its light I am off looking again, goodness knows where but I have to find them, I have alerted police, dog lost so far, when light I will ring dog wardens, RSPCA etc etc. Printing posters as I type this.
It must have been a planned thing as as soon as I got out of the van with a view to going and locking the gates after taking our heelwork to music classes, he jumped in it happened so quick but yet in slow motion I was/am in absolute shock, Karen who was thankfully with me at the time managed to get a glimse of him but he had a white mask on thats why I think it was planned, probably just after the van but my boys were inside'.

Van is White Vauxhall Vivaro, Reg letter "PAW" Drift is a short coated red and white Collie (WSD), quite a big collie. Chester is an old dog, black with lots of grey hairs on the muzzle and chest -- he's medium sized, about 17" to the withers and whippet-y build.
CHESTER

Getting really common for dogs to be stolen along with a van.
