Well I had my Suffolk ram, Shrek, stolen a few weeks ago just before he was due to go in with the ewes. He went from a field with 3 other sheep and 4 donkeys so assume he was stolen to order, obviosly not to eat as there were more succulent ones on the field.
Anyway police were unbelievable - not much escapes them. I gave them a full description of Shrek - MALE, WHITE with black head and legs, 2 CAULIFLOWER EARS (hence his name),LARGE SCAR ON BACK WHERE NO FLEECE. Would have thought any one of them was pretty distinguishing. 2 days later they tell me a sheep has been found in next village and RSPCA woman looking after him. I go over description with them but they dont know if its him. "At least ask if its a male " I suggest - but RSPCA (I kid you not) did not know. I wait 3 more days and hear nothing. So go 10 miles to nearest Police station and wait outside till the 2 minutes/ day it's open and fortunately Sherlock Holmes is on that day. He rings RSPCA woman who is still unaware of any details of the sheep in her possession. Then quite by chance mentions it's BLACK, THen it must have weed or something because she worked out it was female. So ALLELULIAH - it wasn't Shrek. Thanks all round for your astuteness and powers of observation. Good to know everyone's on the ball.
