Homeowner solves his holiday light mystery
A homeowner near Denver finally caught the grinch who has been damaging his light display for years. But the culprit ended up being a lot cuter than he expected.
Barry Miller says for the past four or five years now his driveway lights had been cut in the same exact place. He thought maybe a neighbor had been pulling a prank on him. So he decided to hook up a surveillance camera and a motion detector to catch whoever was doing it.
"I was so excited, cause they were cut in broad daylight. Then we looked at the tape, I was so disappointed, I actually thought we were gonna catch a person and go through with my plan," said Miller.
It turns out the culprit was a little rabbit. The critter had been taking a little bite and running off.
Miller says he's going to try to find a homemade rabbit repellent, like pepper, to keep his decorations in tact.
The squirrels on my property love fuel lines and plastic gas cans. Including the tanks on my mower. It is getting expensive.
LOL That was how I first read it.
Why would a rabbi eat Christmas lights? Isn’t that intolerant of Christianity?
:O) sure you are.../johnny
I did too!!!!!
You and me both, brother. I was trying to wrap my head around why a rabbi would do such a thing...
You were not alone in misreading that headline...
that woulda been an international news story....
“Hyalophagic holy man’s heaping helping of holy hotbulbs”
Wonder the bunny didn’t get shocked to death.
Put some rabbit pellets in a dish away from the wires, it will retrain the rabbit to go else where to look for food.
