record...)

   Raccoon gets drunk after breaking into shop

   A raccoon that passed out drunk after running amok in a Virginia liquor
   store is suspected of two other "break-ins".

   Images of smashed bottles and the animal splayed out next to the toilet
   went viral last week - but the woman who found him has revealed the
   raccoon has form.

   "This is not the first time he's been in one of the buildings. This is the
   third break-in he's had," said animal protection officer Samantha Martin.

   "He was in the karate studio, I think he got into DMV (Department of Motor
   Vehicles) - ate some of their snacks one time."

   Ms Martin said the "smart little critter" had been removed both times from
   those businesses, which are in the same complex as the ABC liquor store in
   Ashland.

   "Each time we'd get him out - we don't relocate him - that's a death
   sentence for raccoons but somehow he knows how to get back in this
   building," she told local podcast Hear in Hanover.

   The comatose raccoon was scooped off the floor and put in a crate to "let
   him relax for a few hours" at the animal shelter - but was later set free.
