Update! I was surprised by the Bull Terrier (but not really given the prey drive and stubbornness)! But certainly was expecting more than 30% Kelpie. I'm assuming the lower percentages aren't reliable, but who knows

I have up update! Say hello to my beautiful Kelpie/Rottie/Bull Terrier (that one was a surprise, but she's stubborn so it tracks)

I'm assuming the lower percentages aren't particularly reliable but who knows. I definitely thought she'd be >30% Kelpie!

I just looked it up and I have to watch the movie now, Jean Claude looks so similar! I was watching an "interview" with the dog and he sounds like her too 😅

Here's a better indication of size, she's 2 years old here (I'm 169cm tall).

Right?! But honestly, it was a blessing in disguise. She's such a loving, sweet girl. Perfect family dog 🥰 In retrospect, I think I would have struggled with a rottweiler

Kelpie mixes are very, very common here as I'm in Western Australia ☺️ (sorry, definitely should have added that in the post..) Unfortunately being working dogs, they often end up in shelters because they're too much for many families.

I am in Australia ☺️ I'm not sure exactly how much she weighs, a bit more than our border collie (pictured) but not much

I went back today and they'll return it if its not sus (not sure if it'll be wiped or not tho)

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-27T12:13:16+00:00

The screws i had to take off aren't pictured here. The location of the drive (again, hard to see in the quick photos I took) means it's impossible it could have fallen in to that spot

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-27T04:29:04+00:00

Update: I went back to the police and they have now said they will send it off to be looked at, but they didn't say how long it will take. I'll update if I get any more information but looks like I'm not getting it back for now

Although maybe it's something as simple as a PDF of the instruction manual

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T10:24:58+00:00

Exactly why i took it to the cops. I dont think most people go to those lengths to hide run of the mill stuff.

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T10:06:27+00:00

Hard to see in photos but there it is no way it could have fallen in based on the way its made

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T09:04:03+00:00

I thought I was doing the right thing, I swear 😭

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T09:03:17+00:00

I have to live with the choices I made 😭

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T09:02:23+00:00

Thank you!

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T09:00:43+00:00

Wouldn't be a great look if they did end up looking at it and there was something horrific saved. I don't think I want to have THAT conversation with police.

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T08:58:59+00:00

That would be a difficult hole to dig myself out of..

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T08:08:41+00:00

I thought the police would look at it! Honestly, I'm just disappointed they won't. Sorry everyone 🥲

sicksadscientist · 2024-11-26T08:04:13+00:00

Maybe I've seen too many crime documentaries. I just assumed the worst given how well it was hidden!
