Thieving Raccoon Fell Asleep Drunk During Break-In

An employee of the store in Ashland, Virginia, on the East Coast of the USA, discovered the animal unconscious and flat on its belly in the restroom on Saturday morning (local time), as the Hanover County Animal Protection & Shelter organization reported on Facebook on Wednesday.

Raccoon sobered up after being taken to animal shelter

An employee of the animal protection group, who was called for help, determined on site that the "masked bandit" had broken into the store and rummaged through several shelves. In the process, bottles of alcohol were broken, and a puddle of what appeared to be high-proof liquid formed on the floor, as seen in a photo from the organization. The employee found the raccoon "heavily intoxicated" and unconscious in the bathroom, the group wrote with a wink. The raccoon was taken to the group's animal shelter, where it was able to sober up. After a few hours of sleep and without any signs of injury, it was released back into the wild, it was reported.
