Two-Headed Turtle Caper

MISSINGTURTLE.jpgJust after Brooklyn's two-headed turtle made it into the papers, The Daily News reports that someone snapped up the rare reptile sometime between 11 a.m. and noon Sunday, right from its window spot in Sean Casey's Hamilton Dog House shop! Casey says it's imperative he "get the turtle back fast because it requires special handling," and he'll take the it back "no questions asked." But just how did someone pull off the mid-day turtlenapping? Casey had placed it in the open "so that the kids could interact with him," but when a customer inquired about it, he was shocked to find it missing. Currently he's getting together some $1000 in reward money for the turtle, and added that he grew up in Windsor Terrace and "did not expect it in this neighborhood."

That's $500 per head reward money!

That was extremely careless. i hope this Mr Casey isn't a parent.

There's always some jerk spoiling the fun.

"Duh, which way did he go, partner? Which way did he go?"

"He went that-a-way!"

Tomorrow that turtle will end up as a soup somewhere off Canal Street. "Two-headed turtle - good for male stamina" will be served at $1000 a ladle.
