Thief Shoves Turtle Down His Pants

SOME GREAT QUOTES FROM STORE OWNER SHERRY STACK IN THIS ONE…  AND HOW DUMB DOES ONE HAVE TO BE TO LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE SECURITY CAMERA UPON LEAVING?  MORAN!!!

(HOUSTON, TX) – A turtle, not of the snapping variety, has been stolen from a Houston-area pet store by a man who shoved the reptile into his pants pocket.

The theft of the $600 Indian star tortoise, about the size of a tennis ball, from Pet City in Spring, Texas, was captured on security video.

Pet City owner Sherry Stack said she has been in business 20 years and “never had a customer shove a turtle in his pants.”

The young man, wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball-style cap, was seen on store video Wednesday prying open a cabinet, then slipping the turtle into his left pocket.

The thief drove away in a white pickup.

Stack says, “We just want our tortoise home.”
