In 1943, the world was in flames. Police in Manly had their hands full, too. The Sydney Morning Herald reported (10 July 1943): "A goat the Manly police took into custody has been released on a 'good behaviour' bond."
For some days the goat had been Manly's greatest nuisance. It wandered about the streets, climbed into buses, went into shops, and stole food. Finally an exasperated shop-owner dragged it off to the police station. The goat was tied up in the police yard until the owner claimed it.
"Manly police believe they made history by taking a goat into custody for the first time in NSW," concluded the Herald. Was it taught a lesson by its time behind baaaas?
