A masked burglar broke into a closed liquor store in Virginia early Saturday morning and hit the bottom shelf where the scotch and whisky are stored. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace — bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile had collapsed, and alcohol pooled on the floor. The suspect acted like an animal………because he is one……a raccoon. Photos of the furry creature showed him lying on his stomach between a toilet and a trash can, limbs splayed out. Animal control officer Samantha Martin said she took the raccoon back to the animal shelter to sleep it off, but had her fair share of giggles along the way. The Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter commended Martin for handling the break-in, and confirmed that the raccoon had since sobered up. “After a few hours of sleep and no signs of injury (other than maybe a hangover and poor life choices), he was safely released back into the wild, hopefully having learned that breaking and entering is not the answer,” the agency said.
