Raccoon Found Hiding Under Car Hood

Occurred on August 22, 2022 / Trumbull, Connecticut, USA

Info from Licensor: "We found a raccoon in our car at our house. He was originally found INSIDE my car by my kids after they left the door open. We lured him out with dog treats. Thinking he was gone, we went to leave and before I started the car I heard some scratching sounds from the engine. Looking under the car we would occasionally see a little of his tail. There was no way I was opening the hood in case he jumped out so I waited for my husband to get home. That’s when he found him. We named him Charlie and we started leaving our dog food and apples for him on our front porch. We would still find him in my engine compartment for a week after so my husband and son built him a house. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear Charlie I moved in but he still comes to our front porch for an occasional meal."
