In six minutes Nese's world fell apart.
“At 8:51 (a.m.), I came out and saw my car was missing,” she said. “I went hysterical because my dog, Chief, was in it.”
Surveilance cameras showed a man get into the SUV and drive off with Chief in the back seat.
On Monday, Chief was found safe in Everett Cemetery.

There is no word on the suspect.
Chief has been Nese's companion for quite some time, and was especially helpful through difficult times last year.
"He's basically a lovable yellow lab. Friendly, he loves everybody and everything," Nese said. "He rescued me actually. A year ago my mother passed away, and two days later, I had a fire and I lost my home."
In the end, Nese said she wasn’t worried about the thief taking her car.
"I really don't care about the car," Nese said. "I just want Chief back. It's been a long day now."
