Core Event
Eleven sheep were taken from Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, a property owned by former *Top Gear* and *The Grand Tour* presenter Jeremy Clarkson. Thames Valley Police reported receiving a tip on a Wednesday that the animals had been removed from the farm within the previous ten days. Officers visited the site on Thursday, spoke with Clarkson, and confirmed that no arrests have been made. Police have asked anyone with information to contact them.
Background & Context
Diddly Squat Farm, spanning roughly 1,000 acres, is the setting for the Amazon Prime Video series *Clarkson’s Farm*. The show’s constant filming presence—including a crew and a drone in the air—has drawn public attention to the property. Clarkson discovered the missing sheep while counting his flock with co-star Kaleb Cooper, prompting concerns that the farm’s visibility might have made it a target for theft.
Police Response & Investigation
Thames Valley Police emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that no suspects have been identified. The force reiterated its appeal for tips, noting that the theft could have occurred either at night or during a day when filming was not underway. Officers have not disclosed any further details about the method of the theft or whether other livestock may also be missing.
Official Appeal and Remarks
Clarkson told *The Sun* that the stolen sheep are valued at more than £2,000 on the market and expressed worry that additional animals from other fields might have been taken.
