Authorities: Raccoon Is Culprit In OKC Church Burglary

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office said a masked, furry creature is to blame for breaking into an Oklahoma City church, rummaging through an office and stealing nothing but candies.

According to the Sheriff's office, just before 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 31, deputies responded a burglary call at the True Light Baptist Missionary Church, located in the 6700 block of N.E. 23rd Street in Oklahoma City.

Deputies arrived and spoke with the pastor, who took them to his office. Deputies said it was obvious that the space had been rummaged through.

The “burglar”, authorities said, managed to bypass the alarm system. Papers in the office had been shuffled through, picture frames had been knocked over, books were on the ground, and a trash can had been tossed. But deputies said the only thing missing were candies from a candy bowl.

For anybody not familiar with raccoons, they can get into anything, especially at night. They are far more efficient than any burglar who ever lived.

who plan for raccoons usually know to strap down the trash can lids too. Raccoons can almost sense if there is any tasty morsel anywhere in the can that they might want.
