[quote]Police are appealing for help to trace a stolen tortoise who appears in a favourite family photo riding on a skateboard.
Herman, a six-year-old hermann tortoise, was taken from his tank in Gosport between 10am and 6pm on August 20th.
The thief forced a secure cat flap, reached in, and took Herman from his tank.
Distraught owner Paula Grundy, 32, said: "We are really concerned about Herman. Lots of people don't realise that tortoises need quite a lot of care.
"Apart from their food - baby corn, curly kale, cucumber, lettuce and apples - they need an ultraviolet lamp and a heat lamp to keep up their energy."
She said the family, especially her six-year-old son, are devasted at the loss of Herman, and the sight of the empty vivarium is almost too much to bear.
Herman is described as seven to eight inches long with a khaki shell. The shell has a distinctive white mark. He is valued at £300.
Police are asking anyone with any information to contact the Gosport Priority Crime Team on 101 or ring the anonymous Crimestoppers charity line on 0800 555 111.[/quote]

The funny thing is you could be right, at my old house my backyard backed onto another home who's inhabitants owned a turtle, i'd always find their turtle in my backyard and I'd have to bring him back.
I can't find the part that makes this newsworthy

"Do you have... the goods?"
"Oh yeah. Right here. Five pounds of grade A tortoise."
"This is going to make a lot of the right people happy Steve. Consider yourself a part . . .

Best turtle ever.

He wasn't stolen, he escaped.

My neighbour's tortoise escaped and I found it casually crossing the road outside my house
What kind of asshole steals a pet? that's just horrible
My uncle trained my grandmother's tortoise to bite people's toes. :3 That fucker is fast too. He also sneaks up on the German Shepherd's and bites their noses.
He's so fucking cool. He's the same type of tortoise as in the OP.
Hmm, this is a few miles from where I live.
Gosport is a dump and full of chavs, if anyone is interested. It's probably been eaten by someone.
