$30,000 Reward for Missing Davie Cats

Although one of his felines, named Bandit, has since returned unharmed, six remain at large — and to find them, Rosen has raised the reward to a whopping $30,000. He hopes the increase will stir up temptation. “If someone knows something and they’re not going to talk for $20,000, maybe a raise will get them talking,” said Rosen, 64, of Davie. “I’m hoping someone is willing to squawk.”

He knows this is unusual. “How many people have put up a $20,000 or a $30,000 reward for the return of their cats?” he asks. “It seems so outrageous; that’s why I did it. It’s the shock effect. I think it will stir some clues up.”
