In our little town, we've had a deer go thru a plate glass window into a bank and was so terrified he couldn't get out; a lion decided to take a nap under a camper in a residential area just a block from a school; and a possum was in our garage behind the firewood pile and wouldn't come out.
I phoned the police, as I could not discharge a firearm inside the city limits. They came over, asked for a .22 and bounced a couple of .22s off of the possum's nose. They finally took him away.
When someone calls animal control for a stray dog or cat, no one seems to be available. I had one animal control gal tell me to try to get a stray german shepherd that was on the street terrifying little kids INSIDE my four car garage so that SHE can come over and "capture" the shepherd. I told her I had two Vettes and two Miatas in the garage and didn't exactly want an angry shepherd trapped in there. I couldn't believe it. She came by half an hour later after the shepherd had already decided to go elsewhere.
