Squirrel responsible for damaging Christmas lights in New Jersey to

A New Jersey town’s search for the vandal who damaged a popular Christmas lights display came to an end Saturday when officials discovered the Grinch was actually a medium-sized rodent.

Officials in Sea Girt, 65 miles south of New York City, spent the past week scrambling to replace the display’s severed wires in time for the borough's annual tree lighting on Friday, WNBC-TV reported.

The morning after the ceremony, the Sea Girt Police Department said it caught the vandal in the act, posting photos on social media of a squirrel climbing on the display and trying to take a bite out of the wires before running away.

"The Sea Girt Police Department is proud to report that the case of our broken holiday lights has been solved," the department said in a press release. "We are happy that no human acted as a grinch in this incident. The squirrel was 'charged' with criminal mischief and released on bail."

So, another “lone wolf” squirrel. How long before we find out that this POS has ISIS flags pinned up in his crib?

He's a good good squirrel who is just starting to turn his life around.

For four years in a row we wildly decorated the backyard for Christmas, then watched as the lights slowly went out. Come spring, we plucked out all the pieces of the lights the squirrels had eaten and wondered how they had avoided electrocuting themselves. Now we just remember the lights and put out squirrel-safe food on a table below the window to make it more convenient for the hungry critters.

But the lights were beautiful.
