Family Warns Against ‘Puffing’ After Truck Stolen With Dogs Inside

A Colorado family is warning others of the dangers of "puffing" after their truck was stolen with their two dogs inside. While illegal in most cities, puffing is common across Colorado in winter months, as people leave cars running unattended to get them warm on cold mornings. Wednesday morning, Manny Sandoval says he put his dogs in the back of his truck near Tower Road and Interstate 70 in Aurora, then ran back inside his house to get his lunch. When he came back out, the truck was gone. "Not even 60 seconds later, the truck was gone," Sandoval says. "I would never think it would happen to me." Police recovered the truck later Wednesday at a nearby school, stripped clean of its tires and rims. Betty and Bubbles, Sandoval’s chihuahuas, were still in the backseat.
