It defies logistics, let alone logic.
New Zealand Police are investigating the theft of up to 500 milking cows from a farm in Ashburton, located approximately 90 kilometres south west of Christchurch.*
It's a cumulative loss of nearly NZ$1 million (US$723,000), which is why the farmer is isn't too keen to talk about it according a friend.
"He's absolutely gobsmacked, and deeply embarrassed," a friend of the farmer, Willy Leferink, said. "If you had three-quarters of a million dollars go missing, you wouldn't want to talk about it either."
