Orlando Florida Mediterranean Garden Courtyard Villa Estate

Anyone in the SE of GB know any one who has recently got 1or 2 small tortoise (not babies). 6-7″long?

Our 2 mediterranean spur thighed tortoise were stolen from our garden on 23/6/06.They are 6 -7″long. One is light brown and the other slightly darker and larger. They have worn shells at their tail ends where they used to play bumping each other. I have had them for over thirty years and am devastated to have lost them in this way. I hate to think that they have been split up after all this time together. Each of my two teenage children had been responsible for caring for one of them. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING GET IN TOUCH WE WOULD DESPERATELY LIKE THEM BACK.

I wish you the all the luck finding the turtles. Try talking to the small local papers and see if they will run a small story for you.
