Alleged Magic Goat Robber
Why did I not think of this? Instead of worrying about crime avoidance strategies, I can just transform into a farm animal and blend into the scenery. This strategy might not work as well in city environments though.
LAGOS (Reuters) – Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.
Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it
was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into
a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.
“The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on
patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued
them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat,”
Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone.
“We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We
cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that
has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a
goat,” he said.
