Loran fears that someone else has fallen in love with the cat as much as he and his colleagues have. “I would understand. But we can’t live without him. We hope that if someone took him, they will bring him back home. We will not press charges.” He also promises that if someone finds Sambal, they will be ‘richly rewarded’. “We will see with that person what the reward will be. We are willing to pay a lot for it.”
Sniffer dog
In the meantime, entrepreneurs around the Nieuwmarkt are hanging posters behind the windows, and residents around the café have also received flyers in the mail. If Sambal is not found quickly, the café wants to use heavier artillery. “We are looking at getting a sniffer dog, but we hope it won’t be necessary.”
