Police have confirmed that the alleged theft of 11 sheep from Jeremy Clarkson’s Oxfordshire farm was the result of an accidental miscount by farm staff, and the case has now been officially closed. The incident began when Clarkson, known for his television show Clarkson’s Farm, noticed discrepancies in his flock while checking with co-star Kaleb Cooper. This led to an investigation by Thames Valley Police, but after further review, it was determined that the sheep had not been stolen. A police representative confirmed that all 11 sheep have now been accounted for, resolving what had initially appeared to be a theft. Clarkson, 66, had expressed frustration over the situation, urging those he believed responsible to "put them back" and estimating the sheep's market value at over £2,000. He speculated that the theft might have occurred at night or during breaks in filming for Clarkson’s Farm, which airs on Prime Video. However, he noted that the farm is usually under constant surveillance, with a film crew and drone present most of the time. Clarkson also questioned whether the show had inadvertently made his farm a target, saying it is "more likely to make you a target than less," but he still believes the sheep were never actually stolen because they are now on "Diddly Squat," a term he used to describe a nearby field where they were later found. Clarkson faced additional frustration while trying to contact the police, describing the process as difficult and time-consuming. He said he had to listen through "700 hours of recorded messages" before reaching an officer. Reflecting on the situation, he humorously remarked, "I know it’s going to sound like I’m from 1856, but I’ve had some sheep stolen." Kaleb Cooper also weighed in on the matter, saying, "This is the problem, isn't it? How do you know that someone's not gonna go and rob that field at the top there when you're out on a night out? You just don't know. Nobody else is looking out for you. But it's in the police's hands now. We have to leave it to the police." Earlier this year, Clarkson revealed he had been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer, which was discovered early. In an interview with The Sunday Times, he said a PSA test in April showed no sign of cancer, and he is now in remission. His partner, Lisa Hogan, explained that he was initially reluctant to share his diagnosis with viewers but decided to make the announcement public to help others. She noted that when filming him in the hospital, he had said, "Please don’t," but producer Andy Wilman convinced him to go ahead. The revelation led to a significant increase in traffic to the Prostate Cancer UK website, highlighting the impact of his decision to share his story.
