A Liquor Store Employee Finds The Store Ransacked In The Morning, And It Was All Done By The Cutest Little Intruder
Australian liquor store BWS is a favorite place to shop for many people. And not only for them… but some customers do make a mess.
Upon arriving at work on an otherwise ordinary day, a shop employee found the place ransacked. The shelves were out of place, and there were broken bottles all over the floor.
It was obvious that there had been an intruder overnight. The store employee examined the security camera footage and was surprised by the intruder’s identity.
The culprit was an echidna — a small, spiky animal indigenous to the area. It had somehow entered the empty liquor store and started to explore the area, and unfortunately for the shop owners, it wasn't really careful about what it would knock down.
How the little animal had gotten into the shop is still unclear, but it was obvious that it was in no hurry to leave. Finally, the staff found it beneath a shelf, exhausted from its adventure.
"He had gone through a couple of bottles of vodka and a bottle of chocolate Bailey's, so he was definitely sleeping it off," the employee said.
Upon receiving a call, the staff from the New South Wales Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) arrived on the scene quickly.
“It was ascertained that the echidna had really good taste, as the shelving it had climbed prior to finding its hiding spot was filled with bottles of champagne, all of which were now lying smashed all over the floor,” WIRES wrote.
Luckily, the animal wasn’t injured during its adventure, and rescuers were able to safely catch it.
The rescuers set the animal free in a safe location outside.
“The echidna moved away in a straight line — it had obviously not consumed too much champagne during the night,” WIRES said.
The echidna's little adventure ended — it was fun while it lasted, but it left a lot of mess behind.
"We hope the offender has learned its lesson and will not enter and break again," WIRES wrote.
