But as I said.. the pet is not trained and has lousy stats.. and it's not painted either. And besides, the said person dumped the pet back in less than 30 seconds back to the pound.. after removing the petpet. And the pet has a lousy name too. I purposely looked for some unpopular pets species with bad names so that chances of interception will be much lower.. but still.. it happened.. and I haven't figured out how and why! lol
I think the petpet is displayed in the pound along with the pet, so it's easy to see that the pet has an expensive petpet attached. I gather there are people who refresh at the pound looking for pets with petpets attached, adopt the pet, detach the petpet to sell later, then abandon the pet again. It sounds like you ran afoul of one of those.
Petpets do not show in the pound.. unless the pet is looked up in a search. And that takes time.. even if the adopter is behind a T3 line..

So what about pets getting stuck in the pound? I've dropped painted pets in several times and had them sit there for days, obviously not showing up to anybody. So is it just random which pets that happens to? If they could make a delay of even a few seconds for all pets, it seems like that would solve this...
I've gotten that too.. gave a lab-only colour to my friend and he forgot to take nps out after checking the pet's price.. but luckily it was one of those times when the pet never showed up in the pound I guess.. else I think it would be sniped pretty quickly..
I guess the best way to solve all this would be to lie low and only tell the person you are transferring the pet to.. boards everywhere are full of lurkers and you never know when someone will set a auto-bot for that painted pet!
