Just for fun's sake, I imagine the scenario:
Complainant: Hello, officer, my pet dog is gone.
Police: How come, tell me the details.
Complainant: I went shopping and tied it to a tree outside the supermarket. When I come out, it's gone.
Police: I see, what kind dog is that?
Complainant: It's a Jack Russell.
Police: Oh...(probably having no idea what's that and stalling for time to check. Click click search engine on his computer).
Police: Oh...that's quite a valuable dog.
Complainant: Ya, ya, please record my report and help me find it.
Police: How much's the dog worth actually?
Complainant: Thousands of dollars la!
Police: If someone tie twenty $50 notes to a tree and walk away, then come back expecting to find it again, then I worry about his sanity. If he still wants to make a police report, I don't worry about his sanity. No need worry. Confirmed insane. Next!
