Tortoise statue finds way back to owner
Posted 11/26/12
SPEARFISH, S.D. — A custom-made tortoise statue valued at $7,000 that was stolen from a Spearfish home earlier this month has been recovered.
The statue is a replica of Methuselah, a giant tortoise that died at Reptile Gardens in Rapid City last year at the age of 130. Authorities found it when responding to a party disturbance call in Lawrence County.
Police Chief Pat Rotert says the statue that weighed as much as 300 pounds was recovered when authorities responded to a party disturbance call in Lawrence County over the weekend.
