SooToday.com received a couple tips from readers about a racoon stuck on top a street light Sunday.
One reader reported seeing the racoon on the light standard at about 1 p.m. on Sunday.
"We called local police, firefighters and the humane society and no one can help this poor scared animal," said the reader (Shelley). "We just went by again (5 p.m.) and the raccoon is now at the very top of the pole. We tried the fire dept a second time. They cannot help due to liabilities."
Another reader reported the racoon was still on top the pole at the corner of Carmen's Way and John Street at 8 p.m.
The shot above, by Katie Riel, was taken at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday and sent to us by James Scott.
We thought our readers would like to know what happened to that racoon so we were delighted when loyal reader Ruth Galinis sent us the following message and the photos in the gallery.
