OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — While police cruisers often can see adolescents in their back seats, officers in Oregon City picked up some strange kids.

KPTV-TV reports (http://is.gd/teiodA) that Oregon City Police Patrol Division received a call about goats in someone's front yard July 11, but when officers arrived on the scene no one was to be found.

Police then loaded six goats into the backseats of two patrol cars and drove the animals to the house of someone who had volunteered to watch them over night.

The next morning, the owners found their goats missing and called the police, at which time officers returned the runaway kids to their home.
