One time my mom and dad called animal control because they had one in their garage....the cops came to their house and put the animal in a bucket and said they would release it in the country.
Funny thing is they came and drove over to the park right next to my house and released it! I happen to be on the phone with my mom when the cops drove up right next to my house and let the critter out of the bucket. We both laughed so hard about it....but at least it ran into the woods and not towards my house.
