But what Andy Gangas saw on the camera was not what he expected-a raccoon on the back of a wild boar. "From the damage to the deer stand it looked someone knew what they wanted to do.

Galesburg, ILLINOIS- Michael and Pascal Mirica can't get a deer out of their bed. Their doors were open one day to move some furniture and the doe walked right past them and has never left except to eat and relieve itself.

"He has mounted playground equipment at a Catholic grade school, a recycling bin and a mountain bike chained up at Lymon Regional Park," said DNR spokesman Chris Hoffman.
