Doug Clark of Springfield said his SUV was stolen in broad daylight Thursday while he was dropping off a broken trampoline frame at McCoy's Iron and Metal and his family's pug, Dugout, was inside the vehicle at the time, KYTV, Springfield, reported Wednesday.

He said the thieves, a man and a woman, were caught on the business' security cameras. He said they had been the people in front of him in line. "As she was collecting her money, the man actually walked out and he walked and hopped in my vehicle. She followed shortly. Of course I didn't know this; I was standing in the office," Clark said. Clark said he will give the thieves the title to his vehicle if they bring Dugout back to the family. "Absolutely, title stands. They bring me Dugout back, and I'll hand them the title," he said.
