Over the weekend, CHP officers had to rescue a couple of calves from a Honda Civic that was parked on the side of the 10 Freeway in Beaumont.

Calls started coming in about 8:30 am from drivers who said they saw a cow trying to climb out of the trunk of the 2001 Honda east of Highland Springs Avenue, according to KMIR.

Officers arrived a few minutes later and were able to rescue the two calves, who both had their hooves tied. The calves were taken to a local ranch while police can determine where they came from.

The Honda had fake registration tags and is registered in Tulare County.

The stealing of livestock is a felony in California.
