LINCOLN, Neb. -- Missing: Two purple car doors and eight possibly pregnant South African goats.

Two unhappy owners reported the unusual thefts to officials this week. The owner of the eight South African boer goats told sheriff's deputies the animals were taken from a corral north of Lincoln sometime between Nov. 7 and Monday.

The $200 goats are brown and white and have red heads, an incident report said. Their left ears are pierced, there are red spray-paint spots on their rears and they may be pregnant.

Goat thievery is uncommon in Lancaster County, sheriff's Sgt. Andy Stebbing said.

Not so the theft of Honda Civic auto parts.

The people who stole the driver's side and passenger doors off Joe Ruterbories' purple Honda Civic "seemed to really know what they were doing," he said, when they unscrewed the hinges.

This was the second time someone stole pieces off his ride. The last thief opened the hood and stripped out the cold air intake system.

"Apparently the parts are not easy to find," Ruterbories said, who found that out when he called salvage yards about replacements.

1. "who found that out when he called salvage yards about replacements."

I'm surprised by this... Just the other day a couple came into inventory.

3. Can't make any suggestions about the goats though...

Alien abduction?
Ritual?

Who knows? :shrug:

2. I suspect that the two are connected

I don't know how and I don't know why, but it is a gut feeling
