Lemon's Safe Return: A Heartfelt Plea

Help Me Find My Stolen Dog – Lemon Was Taken from My Tesla

On the night of April 19th around 9:00 PM, my beloved dog Lemon, an 11-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier, was stolen from inside my Tesla after someone smashed the car window in the Plaza at Puente Hills parking lot (Rowland Heights, CA – in front of East Town Hotpot).

This wasn’t just a random accident. It was a targeted theft, and it happened in a well-lit public place, in a car known for its security features.

Even a Tesla couldn’t stop this from happening. That’s what makes this so terrifying—not only did I lose my dog, but it shows how vulnerable anyone can be. It’s heartbreaking, it’s personal, and it’s a warning for every pet owner and driver out there.
