Atlanta Courthouse Intruder Finally Caught

A courthouse in Atlanta, had been broken into by an intruder that they had a hard time getting rid of. This intruder baffled the minds of many who worked there and wreaked havoc on their offices, leaving behind messes of all sorts.  There were federal memos tampered with (but not stolen), footprints of a strange nature and even a half eaten apple left behind in the office of a federal bankruptcy judge. Surely leaving that apple was a slap in the face! The judge, whose office is located on the 14th floor of the courthouse building, had to call others in to help him figure out the perpetrator: a RACCOON.

Yea, a wayward raccoon not only visited his office, but also:

   -stole cookies from the 10th floor;

   -a sandwich from the 9th floor,

   -and a dry pack of soup from the 23rd floor

 
"Wanted" posters and "Raccoon Crossing" signs were posted until the culprit was apprehended on Monday, August 25, 2008. Word is that he will be transported to a local farm (well, not too local) and sentenced to "life" outside of the courthouse.

That's amazing! They probably thought they were up against a criminal mastermind who was so clever, he could break and enter without detection, and steal food just to spite them.

Raccoons really are nature's bandits. They're very clever and pesky animals, and they have an amazing ability to cause trouble. They are extremely difficult to deal with. I'm glad they finally managed to bring the perpetrator to justice.
