Police in the town of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, say a moose crashed through the window of a now-closed pizzeria at about 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning.
Matt Poole, an officer with the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Office, managed to snap a picture of the likely hangry moose exiting back out through the broken window onto East Main Street, the Portland Press Herald reported.

“We found the suspect and they are not in custody,” the Dover-Foxcroft police joked on Facebook. “Boring right?”
Dover-Foxcroft Police Chief Ryan Reardon told the Press Herald that moose spottings aren’t exactly uncommon, but they rarely smash through windows into homes or local businesses.

The moose also made off with not a single slice, as the pizza shop that formerly used the space had moved just across the Piscataquis River in Dover-Foxcroft.
