It crawled in when my gf was unloading the groceries.
We called the cops. One came out, scratched his head, called another. They poked the raccoon and tried to lure it out with the remaining turkey and some oyster crackers. No luck. They left and the raccoon is still there.
Eww whatever you do, don’t let it die in there! A family of raccoons died in our roof this summer. The smell was horrible and it LINGERED. Then the flies started coming… yuck. Maybe you can leave the doors of the car open for a while and see what happens.
Try animal control, or pest control. I can’t imagine what a police officer could possibly do that you couldn’t.

Ha ha!

We put an ammonia soaked rag in the car. We hope he doesn’t like it.
Whatever you do, don’t have the Moscow Special Task Force try to get the little guy out.
:o
Here animal control is part of the cops duties, but the animal control officer has the day off. All the other animal control places won’t answer or won’t come here.
Lee: Looking and poking at the raccoon only makes him want to hide. He’s terrified, and the car is his best option Leave the car door open, with the leftover turkey outside. After he’s certain no humans are around, he’ll probably get out of that situation post haste. The turkey smell is extra incentive.
The ammonia did the trick. He is gone!
Shiny objects, perhaps?
Who was that masked man!?
Shoot it with a sidearm maybe? Lure it with a donut?
um…
what would be left of a 'coon once shot with a current police sidearm would render the vehicle, um… unusable.
the donut would have had a chance, however…
The first racoon was named “Tonto”.
