"I got her when my son passed away because I couldn't get over it. My son overdosed," Goldberg said. "She's like the greatest therapy in the world.""I've had my car stolen before and I got it back. I got it back myself," he said.He said he left his keys in the car Wednesday evening before pumping gas at the Sunoco on Adams Avenue at Roosevelt Boulevard in the city's Crescentville section.
Goldberg said he thought it would only take a second to pay inside the store, but he later realized it was more than enough time for thieves to do their work. "I went out there to pump the gas it was gone. And the tow truck driver said, 'Oh, those guys just drove off with your car,'" Goldberg said. "A BMW X3 '07 with 100,000 miles on it.""I wasn't worried about the car. It took me 30 seconds to realize the dog was in the car," Goldberg said.He's asking people to be on the lookout for Princess and is making a plea for her to be returned unharmed.
