'They were so hungry and drank their bottle in a couple minutes,' the post read. 'None of this would have a happy ending without all the help from the community.'
The goats' return comes a day after the store shared that a man had cut through three deadbolts and a front gate before breaking into the goat pen and stealing the two baby goats. A second post shared that a baby rabbit was also missing.
The suspect 'knew what they were doing,' according to Orchards Feed General Manager Matthew Beckley. 'They came in and out within 13 minutes, breaking all the different locks trying to get in and took (the goats) one by one out.'
The rabbit remains missing as of Tuesday afternoon. An investigation is ongoing, and Clark County deputies say the person associated with the theft could face charges including theft of livestock and burglary.
With help from security footage, the store said they have the suspect's car information, including the license plate, along with images of the suspect carrying a goat at the North Rosewood Avenue property.

The store said they have also contacted nearby businesses for their camera footage in hopes of finding the suspect.
'I'm putting everyone on blast now as I want people to know — we see you — our community sees you. We will prosecute to the highest level we can — but we will also be staying on premises and will protect our property with force,' Orchards Feed wrote. 'We are a family-owned store who is trying to improve our community.'

In a post on X following his confirmation, Kent said, 'It's an honor to serve our nation again & to be back in the fight against terrorism.
