From The Times:
Police were called to round up a herd of escaped cows that lumbered through a housing estate trampling flowers, knocking over bins and denting cars.
Paul Toon, 50, said that he was almost crushed. “It was very scary. I heard a rumbling sound like thunder, then suddenly a wall of black and white came charging past the house. They went from one garden to the next ripping up flowers.” Another resident said: “The cows dented my new Audi, which will cost hundreds to repair. They came out of nowhere. Luckily no one was hurt.”
The cows escaped from a field near Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and crossed the A5 in the rush hour to reach the estate...
Thanks to Pavlov's Cat for the tip-off.

I was once teaching and a herd came past the classroom window. They seemed quite happy and off on their next adventure.
Ta for H/t
The Nuneaton News fills out the story further along with the obligatory Local News Comedy Headline
'Have You Herd The Latest?
JH, that must have been a while ago. They've since worked out how to get through windows. Be afraid, be very afraid.
PC, indeed, I actually LOL'd at that headline :)
Absolutely terrified.
Considering his name is Mr Toon, a black and white wall of thunder seems appropriate.
JH, they've got you where they want you!
WOAR, I thought of 'toons (as in 'cartoons') but I couldn't wring any comedy value out of that.
Hmm. Does the farmer have insurance for his cows?
