When I lived in Ohio there was a story in the news where a couple came home one evening to find there front window was smashed in. From outside they could hear the inside of their house being torn apart. They assumed the worst and called the authorities. An officer shows up to invesigate. As he walks in with his gun drawn he sees a deer running around the house frantically trying to find a way out.
