A couple of undisciplined cows have been caught after blatantly breaking into a house, throwing furniture and defecating on the carpet.
Chelsea Hingston returned to her Tasmanian home after dropping her daughters on the playgroup to find the doors open and the debris scattered around her living room.
Chairs and potted plants were toppled, clothes and blankets were damaged, and books, toys, scraps of paper, and piles of manure piled up on the carpet.
But despite breaking into the house, the two intruders, aptly named SOB and Bandit, refused to flee and were found at the crime scene.

Inside, Mrs. Hingston found that the two beloved pets in the family had made their way through the back door.
“I was horrified and denied,” she told the Daily Mail Australia. “I opened the front doors and knocked on them, they just came out.”
The mother of two said the fence in the cow’s paddock was damaged the night before when a tree fell during a storm.
After chasing them back to his property, he locked them in the garden.
But when he left home, the mischievous duo decided to explore.
“My partner and I had only bought the house in December, so to say it broke our hearts when we saw the inside is an understatement,” he said.
“We have bare concrete floors while hoping to be able to place new floors and lose a considerable amount of clothes, plants and toys.”
Ms. Hingston said the estimated damage from the SOB and Bandits getaway is more than $ 15,000, which includes the cost of repairing carpets and replacing broken items.

Despite the devastating financial toll, Ms. Hingston said the family was able to see the fun side of the strange situation.
“It’s a lot of fun now,” he said.
It’s such an unprecedented thing. We’re working to get a sign for the house that says “home is where the herd is”. ‘
The cows live on a relative’s property until the fences are repaired.
