A woman called for bin men to come and help her search her Accrington home for burglars after she woke up and heard voices downstairs.
The woman had heard her dog barking in her Emma Street home at around 8.30am on Friday.
She then realised she could hear someone talking to the animal.
She called to several men working out in the street and they checked her house for thieves.
No one was found but it was discovered that £200 in cash had been taken from a tin in a cupboard.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Accrington Police on 01254 51212.
