Stolen! 41 (!) radiated tortoises and 17 hermanns from renommated German Breeder

[papunga]

Hello,

I Think, this could be a very interesting topic for your readers and it would certainly be a big help for us:

On the 9th of Sept. 2002 almost 60 tortoises have been stolen from a renommated private breeder in Germany: 41 radiated tortoises and 17 hermanns. They are alltogether worth more than 100.000 EUR.

The breeder will pay a reward of 5.000 EUR for getting back the animals and catching the thieves.

We built a homepage (in german and English language), where you can find details about that and pictures of the tortoises : http://mitglied.lycos.de/papunga.

The DGHT workgroup tortoises put that in a new categorie on their homepage too.

It would be great, if you communicate that theft and its details to help us getting back the animals and find the thieves.
We need a lot of help to have a chance.

Do you have hints for us, what else we can do to be successful?
Do you know links, mailinglists, forums, where we can communicate this topic?

Looking forward for your answer, thanks a lot for your help,
kind regards,

papunga (webmaster of the breeder)
