Ok I was reading the post "What have people mistaken your Pit Bull for?" a little while back and I just found this article today.

IRVINE, Calif. (USA) — Suddenly I don't feel so bad for thinking a Saluki is a type of motorcycle.
On Dec. 1, three men stole two "pit bulls" from a shelter, presumably with the intent to use them in a dog fighting ring. Before being arrested, the trio was informed that the pooches weren't pits; they were taco dogs.
Court TV reports that Kamyar Katouzian, 24, Mehrad Sepanjasa, 19, and Ariyo MacKay, 18, were perturbed when employees at a local PetSmart told them that they had a pair of Chihuahuas. The thieves demanded to speak with a veterinarian to get a second opinion.
(A second opinion? OK... They're Chihuahuas and you're a bunch of morons.)
The store's director, Lisa Morgenthaler describes the thieves' bewilderment: "They said, 'No way, it's a pit bull.' They didn't believe me."
Ms. Morgenthaler became suspicious, believing that she recognized the two pups from an Irvine Animal Shelter flier that described two stolen dogs with microchip identification tags implanted.
Two days later when the men returned to the clinic with the dogs for vaccinations, Ms. Morgenthaler was prepared. She describes: "We said we were going to take them into the back to cut their nails and take their temperatures, and we called the police. It was pretty scary."
Katouzian, Sepanjasa and MacKay were arrested moments later and charged with receiving stolen property, according to an Orange County court clerk.
"They thought they were stealing pit bulls," says Ms. Morgenthaler. "These guys are idiots."
