Hello,
I am reaching out to the tortoise/reptile community for help in recovering some animals that were stolen from our home. Our home was violently broken into today, and besides a couple of game consoles, the only items stolen were 5 tortoises.
Below are recent pictures of the stolen tortoises. They are 2 indian star tortoises, and three leopard tortoises (babcocki). These were taken within one week of today 11/15.
Below, the one on the left was stolen, we still have the one on the right.
We are quite certain the people who stole them are not aware of their value or even what they are. We had several higher end tortoises in the same room that were not touched.
These particular tortoises were from our personal collection, and have great sentimental value to us. We are pationate about our hobby, and take very good care of our tortoises, we are greatly concerned for their well being.
We are considering a reward at this time, but cannot promise anything at this point.
If you can provide any information please contact us at:

(I apologize if this is not on the correct forum. I am not familiar with the site and am trying frantically right now to get the word out as quickly as possible)
Thanks,
Neal
