The cop car says Village of Scotia, which I think is in New York.

A turtle that size will break your finger faster than you have time to realize their neck is a actually very long, their mouth is a rock hard beak, their jaw is strong enough to break bones, and they are way faster than they let on. Their legs are long too, and their claws are sharp. Notice the cop isn't putting his fingers near the thing? The models are apparently clueless. Pretty though. I don't think the cop is grinning because of the turtle.

I never knew turtles contained so much potential danger. I am grateful for your warning. It's a good thing none of those women were hurt. Good thing we prefer clams.
