Hey thats not funny! Living in a downstairs apartment with a gap under the front door. One night a racoon was tugging at the bottom of the door to get in!!!
I had a golf club…Thats all…Somehow we scared it away, I think we showed it a picture of DENNIS!
Paramedics returned to the house later that evening only to find the man dead in his home. He apparently gave himself an accidental papercut and bled out.
