Is nothing "off limits" anymore? https://www.wthr.com/article/squirrel-caught-tape-stealing-doughnut-police Something I've always wondered - is it "doughnut" or "donut". Oh well...at least I bumped the "Dump Station" thread.................... |

"Doughnut" would be the proper Queen's English spelling. We commoners in the Great Plains typically spell it "donut".

What's amazing is that the cops didn't call in the swat team to take the squirrel out. There are few crime more serious for a cop than to steal his dougthnut.

One of our most memorable squirrel encounters was in a park in Traverse City, Mi. We saw black squirrels there -never seen a solid, glossy black squirrel. But the best part was he had stolen a cherry tomato and was running across the woods. There was a shiny black squirrel with a ginat red nose running. Amazing picture.

I don't have any squirrel stories, but as a child, my family was camping in Colorado and we went on a hike. Before we left, Mom thought that she could keep the chipmunks out of a jar of jelly on the table (without a lid) by covering it with a tablecloth. We came back and the little buggers had eaten through the tablecloth and helped themselves to the jelly.
We always had a good time with the chipmunks. We usually stayed a week and before the time was up, we'd have them taking nuts and other snacks out of our hands. One year, we didn't have nuts but did have some Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter cereal: they loved it. |

We had a lot of grey squirrels at our house in NJ (ground hogs and rabbits too), but one day we noticed a coyote pass through. Sadly, there were no more squirrels until the next year; same for the ground hogs and rabbits.
But a thought: Squirrels, or any other wildlife for that matter, are incapable of stealing. Everything that they can grab belongs to them, at least until another critter takes it away or eats the squirrel. Possession is 10/10ths of the law of nature.

+1 - think animals (wildlife) are incapable of criminal behavior. No more than a cat killing a mouse thinks about murder.
