Manchester Petsmart staff checked their shelves and found the products wre gone. In fact, the estimated value of the stolen flea and tick treatments is $1,019.87.

"So the guy must live in a tick infested area," Manchester Police Captain Charles Hunn tells Patch.

Police tell Patch they do not have a suspect or description of the suspect and the thief was not caught on surveillance video.
