12. The Raccoon That Raided a Politician’s Trash—Nightly
A city councilman in Oregon made headlines by publicly mocking raccoons as “pests with no purpose.” Days later, a raccoon began targeting his home nightly, overturning garbage bins and leaving trash artfully spread across his driveway. One morning, the mess was even shaped like a smiley face.
Animal control set up cameras and traps, but the raccoon seemed to avoid them with ninja-like precision. Neighbors began calling it “Trash Bandit X.” The politician eventually retracted his statement and praised raccoons for their “urban adaptability.”
