Two little girls steal goat from Mankato zoo

[geardaddy]

In surely the cutest story anyone will hear all week, Mankato police say two young girls stole a goat from a zoo, and tried to walk the thing home.
The girls were apprehended partway through their crime after they were spotted walking by the roadside late Saturday night. The girls were returned home, without incident, and the goat was returned to the zoo, thus ending probably the weirdest night of its life.

The girls, two sisters under the age of 10 who snuck out of their house to enact the crime, showed a pretty serious side of mischief: Even when a cop confronted them about their hairy friend, they produced a series of lies to try to stay out of trouble, reports the Mankato Free Press.

Glad things ended well!
