• Caterina Sevares of Florida had a late-night craving for tacos, so she did what many of us have probably done: She placed a DoorDash order and hopped in the shower while waiting for her food to be delivered.
But when she opened the door to retrieve the Talkin' Tacos delivery, Fox 35 reported that she was met by three masked bandits -- a trio of racoons who got to her meal first, eating everything but the tortillas.
Sevares began to film the carnage but retreated once the racoons started engaging -- one stood up on its hind legs while the other two stared her down.
"Once they started hissing, I shut the door so fast. I was like, 'They can have the carne asada, it's fine,'" Sevares said.
Talkin' Tacos caught wind of the bandits' antics after Sevares' story went viral on TikTok, and sent her a gift card for her troubles. [FOX 35, 2/14/2024]
• Elsewhere in Florida, bears ransacked a woman's car -- on Valentine's Day, no less.
Cassidy Simoes' boyfriend left chocolates in the front seat of her car the night before, intending to give them to her the next day.
But NBC2 reported that at about 3:30 on Valentine's morning, the couple woke to find the car in bad shape: "Basically, the whole door panel, I can't even open the door at all or roll the windows down, nothing," Simoes said.
No word on if the chocolates were replaced. [NBC2, 2/14/24]
