UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WXIX) - A Clermont County man is searching for his dog and his car after both were stolen Monday afternoon.

James Lamb told FOX19 NOW on Wednesday that he was about to check into the Red Roof Inn on Mount Carmel-Tobasco Road, but he needed cash for a deposit.

He went to a nearby Speedway, where he said that he spoke to a man who was sitting near the entrance.

Lamb said his dog Dobby had tried to jump out of his car, and the man made a comment.

“The guy said something to me about him trying to get away, and I remember saying something like, ‘Yeah, all the time,’” he explained. “That guy was the same guy who ended up taking my car.”

Lamb said he had forgotten his keys in the car, and when he came outside just two minutes later, everything was gone, including Dobby.
