COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Boone County authorities are looking for two stolen camels. The double-hump male camels were stolen with two steers from a farm in Columbia. They were last seen Monday morning. The animals' owner says someone likely lured the four animals -- worth about $20,000 -- into a trailer. The two 900-pound Black Angus steer have tags on their right ears with the numbers 96 and 97. Investigators say it's unclear whether the camels had microchips or tags.
