Lebron, a white 9-month-old Maltese, was to his home Wednesday after he was snatched up in front of a home on Northwest 165th Street.

James Faulk's surveillance camera captured a man taking Lebron from the street in front of the family's home on Monday. The video shows the man walk to the front door before leaving the house in a white SUV.

But family members said the man returned Wednesday with Lebron, and said he left after he couldn't reach anyone.

The family said they didn't want to press charges and added that they were thankful to have their pet back.
