It seems this raccoon has gone from raiding trash cans to breaking into homes.
The “masked bandit” surprised a woman when it made its way into her Florida home Wednesday morning.
Photos shared by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office showed the raccoon sitting in a bathroom on top of a cabinet.
“A Pinellas County citizen was quite surprised to find this furry intruder in her home,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Facebook post with a photo of the trespasser.

The raccoon is seen sitting above a medicine cabinet and a vanity mirror, where it remained still enough for a sheriff to snap a picture.
Shared to Twitter, the photo was described as featuring “Smokey…and the Bandit?”
The Sheriff’s office said the raccoon was safely caught and released.
