NEW YORK (1010 WINS) - Crime in New York City can be a dog-gone shame.

Nikeisha Anderson, 24, of Cambria Heights says her 2-year-old Yorkie Lily was stolen from the home she shares with her mother on 114th Drive when it was burglarized on Sept. 7.

The thief stole a laptop, jewelry and an iPod too. Also missing: Lily's leash.

"The leash was hanging on the doorknob and the leash is also gone, she wouldn't be running away and taking her leash with her," Anderson's mom, Pam, said.

The family got Lily when she was just 2-months-old.

"She's a part of me, a part of my family," Anderson said. "We looked under the bed, under the tables -- she wasn't here."

Lily has brown and white fur, weighs about 6 pounds, and is 10-12 inches long.

Unfortunately, Lily does not have a locator chip.

"She's like a kid. Even though she has four legs and fur she's just a kid," Anderson said.

She is asking for your help finding Lily. If you see her, please call 347-564-8678 or email Anderson at nikeishaanderson@hotmail.com.
