I sort of tend to believe this news story, but I think the photo was staged.
Two days after Thanksgiving, the racoon was found passed out in the bathroom of a Virginia liquor store where it was released back into the wild. It had apparently broken into the liquor store, knocked some liquor bottles off the shelves, drank the liquor and became intoxicated.
But now they're saying a couple of other nearby businesses were also raided, possibly by the same raccoon.

I read this on Mylot last week, and the very next day our local news did their “what caught my eye” segment, and had a good laugh at the video. I can totally see the photo being real, but this would also be a great opportunity to doctor a photo too. Poor thing!

Oh no, I didn't see it on MyLot. Sorry - didn't mean to be a copycat.

Yeah, that was in a community not far from here. They have been selling T shirts with an image of the raccoon on it. He is nicknamed trash panda, and has also been involved in swiping snacks from a fitness center. He is a real miscreant.
