INGLEWOOD -- A seven pound Maltese puppy named "Prince" who was stolen from a locked car in an Inglewood parking lot has been found. The puppy was dropped off at a West Los Angeles animal shelter early Tuesday morning and was reunited with his owner.

Tynisha Sanford, the dog's owner, says she received a call from the West L.A. animal shelter this morning claiming "Prince" had been dropped off by someone reporting they found the dog who was a stray. Sanford says KTLA's news report on the stolen dog may led to a change of heart on behalf of the thief.
The dog was stolen at 12:15 pm Sunday in the parking lot of the Superior grocery store on Crenshaw Boulevard. Sanford told police she was only in the store for 15 minutes when someone broke into her car.
A security guard spotted the man entering the car on the driver's side and then he says the man walked around to the passenger side so he could grab the dog more easily. As the man jumped into his own car and took off, police say the security guard wrote down the vehicle's license plate number. The car was described as a black or dark blue Ford Expedition. The security guard said the plate was easy to remember. It read MR BJ 1.
"Prince" is a white male (not neutered) Maltese, weighing about 7 lbs. Sanford says the dog was equipped with a microchip.
Sanford says never lost faith and was hopeful for a happy ending. "It's just not right to take something that doesn't belong to you," Sanford said. "I'm just grateful Prince is back."
