A very strange story from Deltona Florida which is near Orlando where a raccoon managed by some mysterious way to enter a snack vending machine at the Pine Ridge High School on Wednesday.
I can see why the raccoon would want to get inside a vending machine that had some very tasty snacks to eat.
The catch was that the raccoon could not get out of the vending machine. A deputy with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, an animal control official in Deltona and a school official had to use a dolly to get the vending machine away from the school building so the animal control officer could get the raccoon out of the vending machine so he could leave the school grounds to his home.

@Deepizzaguy Poor thing, he surely thought that if it was easy to get in, it would have been easy to get out.

@LadyDuck That is true since raccoons are curious creatures.

I know if I were in his position and I saw food inside a vending machine, I would say "Eureka. I have found my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

That could be the case even though I do not know about many raccoons that are adopted by humans.

I am glad they managed to get him out. I can imagine how surprised I would be if I wanted to buy a snack and found a raccoon inside the vending machine.

It is an odd story that a racoon gets inside a vending machine in a high school in Florida.

I agree with you LindaOH since it would been a tragic ending If the raccoon was trapped inside that vending machine for a while longer.

Glad they got the raccoon out but perhaps he wanted to be bought?

That is true. It Is nice to see law enforcement and animal control officers came to help the raccoon find his freedom.
