Ditto.

As a last resort I might get the dog out of the car, but I still would not leave with the dog until the owner and/or authorities arrived.  That note doesn't even leave a way to contact the person who took the dog. 

Agree. 

Now if the dog were visibly dying and the cops were taking their sweet time, I'd do what I had to do. 

Welcome to summer. Where the news will have a story of kids being left in cars every week.
