(Crestview, FL) -- A Crestview, Florida woman wants her pet tortoise named Scooter back. Susan Dean has cared for the 120-pound, 12-year-old tortoise since it was three inches in diameter. Dean says Scooter was outside last Wednesday when a suspicious gray van drove down her street a couple of times. Scooter is worth about 85-hundred dollars, so profit may have been the thief's motive. Crestview Police Lieutenant Jamie Grant told the "Northwest Florida News" that the turtle is part of Dean's family and he understands her distress.
