Burglars Steal Omaha Musician's Equipment, Puppy

A Omaha musician says he has no way to continue his craft after robbers took all his equipment and his 7-week-old puppy.

On Friday night, Brody Thompson and his girlfriend, Samantha Cochrane, were at one of Thompson's shows when robbers struck while they were gone.

A home security camera picked up audio of the robbers making quick work of Thompson's music equipment. The thieves cleaned out thousands of dollars of electronics with which Thompson has been building his career on for five years.

“It was my first laptop that I ever started doing music with so that kind of hurts but it's just a bad situation all together,” Thompson told 6 News.

Recording equipment and several desktop computers went out the door in minutes. And while they want their property back, they are more desperate to find their 7-week-old, 6 pound puppy who still relies on special formula.

“You know, you see a cute puppy and you want to pick it up and if you don't care about the people you're taking from that's probably what you're going to do,” Cochrane told 6 News.

They’ve been posting fliers and checking with pounds and the Humane Society hoping the puppy has been dropped off while fearing the worst for the dog that depends on them for specialized care.

“Without having the right care and the right formula she could die,” Cochrane says.
