What’s worse than reporting your expensive sheep missing to police?  Realising you misplaced them.

An Onkaparinga Hills man might be feeling a little sheepish after reporting 22 of his missing sheep as stolen to South Coast Police on Wednesday, August 1st.

The animals are worth around $100 a head, so you can imagine his need for urgency in retrieving the stolen flock.

It was only until later, after the call was made to police, that the man realised he had actually moved the sheep to a different paddock a couple of days earlier.  He just forgot.
