He's known as "Wildman Phil" and makes his living traveling to schools and parties, educating kids on creepy, crawly reptiles and animals. But at a stop outside a Walmart in Englewood, Colorado, someone stole everything he had and - likely a little more than they expected.
Phil Rakoci stopped at the store at about 5 p.m. Thursday and went inside to get some supplies. He says he had to leave his SUV running to keep the reptiles warm. When he came out 20 minutes later, his Suburban was gone.

I bet the thief was really surprised when he opened up the tubs. I hope they find him and get this guys animal and car back so he can keep doing what he does. Without the animals he cant put on a show.
That's crazy, that somebody has to steal peoples things. I feel bad for the guy because it sounds like those animals were his job. so now what does he do, get more animals.
That's awfull!!! Poor guy had a perfect bussiness and was probally close with his reptiles like we are will or pets! I hope they catch they guy who stole it what a jerk!
I hope the police find the man who stole the vehicle so man gets his animals and reptiles back. I think it's dumb how someone would steal a vehicle especially one that is full of animals and reptiles. I wonder if he saw the animals and reptiles before he stole it or not.
I am hating what people are doing these days and I mean it. Why would someone steal a bunch of animals from a wildlife edcuator who make a living off of those creatures. I hope the crook gets caught and gets what he deserves or he gets attack by the animals.
I feel so bad for this guy! He makes a living from working with animals, and someone has to go and steal what hes been working with!
Wow that's really funny how out of all the cars he could of stole he steals the full of snakes and other odd reptiles. I hope they find his truck and bring it back.
That's awesome, if i were the criminal... I would release them all, after I played with them in my house for a little while! And I would take them to PetSmart to make them happy before tossing a ball in the forest (yes, reptiles LOOOOVEE loud toys) shoo-ing them forever.
I fell bad for Phil. He was trying to keep the reptiles warm by leaving his car running and someone had to steal it. Thats just horrible.
Even with the reptiles in the car I dont think it was smart to leave it running for 20 minutes. The person that stole the SUV was in for a surprise
