Escaped Convicts Disguised As Sheep Evade Authorities 11

What does it take to hide from a 300-man search party in Argentina? Disguise yourself as a sheep. Robbers Maximiliano Pereyra, 25, and Ariel Diaz, 28, broke out of a maximum security prison and used stolen sheep hides to evade 300 police on their trail. From the article: "A farm worker said: 'They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins, including the sheep heads, over their heads and backs.' Police said spotting the pair among thousands of sheep is 'almost impossible.'"

The policemens should just have used their guns. Not on the sheeps, just in the air. True sheeps would have been afraid, start running, and the two guys would have had to start running too. I guess they do not run as well on their 4 "legs" than the sheeps do. Easy to find them then. Affair solved.

    Yes, I'm sure the police would have been quite sheepish at that turn of events.

  Unless you've known a sheep farmer, you might be overestimating the intelligence of sheep.
  A friend of mine's parents raised sheep, and I remember his mother complaining that she was always having to untangle the sheep from the fence.
  They said sheep are surprised every day when the sun comes up.
  They might just crap themselves and stay exactly where they are. Now, send in a couple of sheepdogs and you'd find the fakes pretty quickly.

They must have gotten the idea from Homer:

Unfortunately, this method of escape does not portend an easy homeward journey.
