THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH
I have my baby boy home- the person who stole mason sold him to a car
dealer in Columbia. The car dealer had him in his office and was
planning to give him to his wife for Mothers day when someone forwarded
him a posting from the internet (I dont know which one, because of all
of the cross posting) he decided on the off chance that he had Mason to
take him to the vet to be scanned for a chip, and low and behold it was
my baby. They called me immediatly and I went down and got him and let
me tell you I have never in my life been so happy. He is ok, a little
scared and he looks like he has lost some weight but we will be going
to our vet in the AM to check him out. The car dealer only paid $4000
for Mason, and that was all he would take back as reward (and we paid
the vet bill) so we bought his wife a very nice necklace for mothers
day with a hyacinth macaw on it
THANK YOU {names removed}!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its because of
honest people like you that I have any faith in this world!
And for everyone else: PLEASE PLEASE be careful when purchasing animals
and remember that they could easily be stolen! $4000 is VERY VERY cheap
for a Hyacinth, and we are lucky that {name removed} realized that and it raised
red flags. He paid cash for Mason but he has the man's cell phone
number and it is a Charlotte area code (980).
ACCORDING TO {name removed}:
The man who sold Mason was in his late 30s- early 40s, light skinned
black male, green or light colored eyes, no beard, shaved head, very
articulate and polite, said he ran a petstore in Charlotte and had to
make room so he was selling Mason for 75% off. he drove a newish (he
said anywhere from 2005-2008) red yukon with red rims on the wheels. He
was about 6ft tall or a little higher and weighed around 200 LBS,
roughly. He sold Mason in a brand new dog crate with a dish of water
and sunflower seeds. The dishes/crate still had the stickers on them
and appear to be from a petsmart. He gave his name as {names removed}
(not sure of spelling on the last name)
IF ANYONE knows of someone meeting this description please contact me
ASAP. We are now using the remaining reward money ($5000) to be offered
for any information leading to this man's conviction.
