Tabz Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Lizards stolen from Hamilton Zoo 21/10/2008 15:00:02 Four valuable lizards have been stolen in a smash and grab at Hamilton Zoo. Thieves smashed a glass panel and cut through chains and padlocked doors on Friday night to get inside the reptile enclosure. Zoo director Stephen Standley says they snatched a pair of Madagascan Day Geckos and a pair of Bearded Dragons. He says while they are not endangered, the Madagascan Day Geckos can only be held in zoos in New Zealand. Mr Standley suspects they have been nicked to be sold on the black market, where he says they can fetch up to a couple of thousand dollars each. Taken from NewztalkZB website. Stupid thing to do really. Why would you waste your time stealing beardies? Might see some Day Gecko babies on trademe soon though eh?

livingart Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 maybe the people involved know nothing about lizards? maybe they did know makes you wonder that they have recovered the geckos but no one has been prosecuted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I finally got around to going up to Ti point today (wich was bloody awesome too! I'm mad keen for a tortoise now, not that I can afford tho...) and Ivan said he had two shinglebacks stolen on the same day as the Hamilton zoo was robbed! Seems like a strange coincidence to me...
