Seems to me you need to take the tort, his food, and that tort table. Build a hide in it and it'd be pretty nice. I am sure (maybe) there are security cameras around. But living in a school and having to be on display for a herd of children is stressful

My sally won’t lift her rump for nothin’ !
She doesn’t even want to walk any where now that it’s winter.

First she needs to know if there are cameras. If none I would sneak in, snatch the animal, take it to a friend's house, keep it there until the hubbub quiets down, bring it home. But seriously, while I personally do stuff like that, Susie Normal cannot commit a crime and get away with it. Guilt drives them nuts. So while it's fun to plan out. It IS a crime and maybe talking about it on a public forum isn't smart

You are right there.. (as my mom always says)..
Italians ALSO believe in a “ no paper trail”.

Not bad for a tort life...
She needs to buy him from the teacher.
$100?? That way the teacher will see $$$ signs and give him up..

Get behind her, pretend that her carapace is the face of a clock, her head is 12 and you put your hands at 9 and 3 then you move your hands around back and forth...all min dance. I call it the Hootchie Cootchie

After she laughed and I’m sure walked away ... that’s when I would have snickered like her as I put him into the black tub thing you bought... you missed your perfect chance!
?
Ugh! Why donʻt I ever think about things like that? You must teach me your sneaky, steathly tips

Hey, it DOES get cold here, we are already busting out the blankets and boots. I mustʻve been a mind-numbing 65 degrees last night.

I work at the school - there arenʻt any cameras up there. Yeah the kids poke and prod at him, if heʻs in his hide the kids stick their faces by the entrance and yell his name thinking heʻll come out. I posted earlier somewhere about the horrible things they do to him - granted they are in elementary school but this isnʻt the way to teach kids how to be kind to animals, especially an animal as shy as a tort.
