NYC turtlenapping: 1 count or 2?

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A Brooklyn, N.Y., pet-store owner is appealing to a shoplifter who made off with his two-headed turtle to bring back the missing reptile.

Sean Casey told the New York Post the turtle has special needs, such as having to be hand fed to prevent fights between heads over food.

The turtle disappeared Sunday from a tank at Casey's Hamilton Dog House while Casey was with a customer.

"I grew up in the neighborhood and I know most of the people here," he said. "I did not expect it in this neighborhood."

To add insult to injury, the Post said, Casey had to convince New York's finest over at the local precinct that he wasn't pulling their legs when he reported the theft.
