Another asked if the Hatboro-Horsham School District had replaced its mascot.
Some said the goats could munch on the grass on their lawns or at some of the fields at Deep Meadow Park.
Another wanted to take the goats home with them.
The Horsham Community Police Services said that they solved the case about the goats.
In a follow-up post, Horsham ChATs said the goats had been on loan to the Jarrett Nature Center —which is between Simmons and Hatboro-Horsham High School — and had escaped their pen.
Horsham ChATs said a police officer was able to round up the goats and get them back into their pen.
"That was certainly an amusing call," Horsham ChATs told Patch Wednesday morning. "I don’t recall a goat call before. The most common are dogs and cats."
