If your dog was gator line I'm pretty sure that's American bully not pit bull.. Pit bulls are not that sought after, everyone's brothers cousin is breeding them and there is no shortage of free pit bulls on Craigslist including puppies. Some retard probably just liked the look of your dog and since you werent paying attention and left it outside they stole it. Frim what I know most people here don't leave their dogs in their backyards unattended unless they have a "yard" with multiple dogs on it, in which case they would bark up a storm if anyone stepped foot in the yard.
