Found turtle - AU Park

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Are you missing your pet turtle? I just found one on Brandywine near 47th street.

I've got him safely contained in a box.

Let me know if he's yours and I'll give you my contact info.

Thanks!

Are you sure it's not a wild turtle?

It's probably not someone's turtle. Turtles live in the city. Go put it back where you found it.

OP here,
Thanks for the info. I was picturing some poor kid upset about their lost turtle. Didn't realize they could exist in the City.

Did a little online research and you appear to be correct- I should just put him back.

Thanks!

Box turtles are ubiquitous. Make sure you put it back in the direction it was going.
