someone steals turts from pet shop

Posted : 8/23/2006 6:55:07 AM

a pet shop in edmonton had a couple of turtles stolen in the last few days, LOL. I find it funny because the staff was on TV saying how concerned they are about the turts not getting proper care and blah blah blah. It is al BS all they are concerned with is the fact that these turts both retail for around 800 bucks each and they are loosing money. Both shops are in the same chain and sell puppies.

Hopefully they were stolen by someone with the intention of giving them a better life than they would have living in a pet store.

My sister lives in NYC and I was on the phone with her while she was walking through Tribeca the other day. All of the sudden she stopped talking to me and started yelling at a guy who had a bowl full of turtles. He was selling them out of a plastic bowl on the side of the street. These poor turtles were probably close to boiling.

It's amazing how fraud some people can get over money! How in the heck could they have stolen them, aren't they locked up in their terriaum or whatever? Apperantly the staff wasn't keeping a cose eye, i'm still dumbfounded!

Someone probably broke into the store. I also doubt, that, if no one is looking, it would be difficult to slip a smaller turtle into your shirt... or even a pocket... look at that puppy that was stolen.

Usually, terrariums don't have locks, although they are often in seperate rooms from the rest of the shop so that it's more difficult for someone to just walk in without an employee with them or at least noticing.

I saw turts but i thought that it was just a misspelling! wow, they should come to my house, they can have whatever they want out of the horse and sheep barns and rabbit cages that they please (and whatever landmines you may find in the yard is ok too)!
