SAN ANTONIO - Leon Valley police say a well-trained trio took Shark Week too far, stealing a horn shark from the San Antonio Aquarium Saturday afternoon.

According to Leon Valley police Chief Joseph Salvaggio, the group stole the 3-foot shark from an open pool where visitors are allowed to reach in and pet the various species in the tank. Two men and a woman are wanted in connection with the theft.

Salvaggio said one of the men grabbed the shark by its tail while the others wrapped it in a wet blanket and put it into a stroller.

There was an SF Zoo monkey stolen by a kid as a present for his girlfriend a while back.
"No known suspects" blah blah swept under the rug.

Our teaching zoo had a few animals stolen recently - some gopher tortises, a spider monkey, a skink.

All of our zoo animals are rehabs for the most part.

Shark has been found and returned and arrests made. Kind of a strange story: Seems a collector of aquatic sea life arranged to have it stolen for his collection.
