The Dallas Police Department has posted another of their stunning YouTube videos of criminals caught in the act. This one involves two a-holes male suspects who ripped two flat screen TVs out of the wall at the Pet Ritz off Lemmon Avenue.

Of course, the tragedy of this story is that the spoiled dogs and cats won't be able to watch TV until they're recovered. Or the owners of the place pony up for some new ones, which, if you look at camera 3 in this video, they may have already done (check out camera 4 to watch cute dogs playing). Thank goodness, because otherwise the pets would've had to make do with specialty food menus, deluxe bedding, impeccably cleaned boarding suites, and interactive video monitoring for traveling owners (for those pet lovers who just can't let go).

UPDATE: Hey, whaddya know, YouTube is good for something other than silly dancing and weird light bulb ads: Dallas police arrested Rickey Alexander and Michael Newton for the dastardly crime after getting tips from people who had watched the video. Go YouTube generation!

I was an employee there when it happened. I was there by myself when it happened. Not to sound anal, but Pet Ritz is not on Lemmon, it is on Mockinbird, and they do not board cats, just dogs.

I saw the guys in person, and for stressing me out, I hope they get caught. I just wish I would have got their license plate number!
