Default Fred Stolen.

Our beloved medditarrainian spur thigh male tortiose was stolen out of our garden on the 22nd of july. We had him for 31yrs and are heartbroken. Has anyone been offered one lately? We have put up a reward for him, but as yet we've had no luck. We live in the Banbury area.

How awful! I'm so sorry to hear this, after 31 years must be devastated!

Tortoises this age are so hard to come by I bet they've stolen him to sell him on!

I'm so sorry Lin

A good friend of mine lost her 100yr old tortoise.....she was returned after 3 months so please don't give up hope.

There is a wildlife officer who deals specifically with stolen tortoises, I'll go and find his telephone number and get back to you.
