"There was the car and the dog was in the apartment. It was just unbelievable. We still can't believe we have him and my car. The car is secondary, of course," said Sarah.

Bear is just fine after having to spending the night in the rain and the day with a nice couple.

Police still don't know who's responsible for the theft.
