Serial goat vandals damage car

Police chief hopes that damage done to a car by a known pair of goats will be settled out of court.

Police in Richmond, California were called after a concerned resident was unable to convince a pair of goats 'known to get loose' to climb down from his car.

The nefarious four-legged duo escaped from their enclosure to resume a campaign of vandalism, resulting in bodywork damage to a resident's Ford Focus after they jumped up onto the bonnet.

When the resident noticed the two animals standing on his car, he notified the police. By the time the officer arrived, the goats refused to stand down.

After assessing the damage done to the car, the owner intended to obtain quotes for the repair of the scratches on his bonnet and for the goat's proprietor to take care of. As a consequence, there were no criminal charges.

Attending officer Scott MacMaster of Richmond Police said: "Apparently the goats got loose from the neighbours’ and were climbing all over his car...They have been known to get loose in the past"
