The Bogalusa Police Department is sure about that.
Two witness reports confirm that the intruder didn’t have opposable thumbs. In fact, it didn’t even have hands. It was a small deer.

One woman was driving along Avenue B when she saw the deer run towards the bank from Goodyear Park, he said.
“She almost hit it,” said Gomez. “She saw it go into the bank.”
The officer speculated that the animal saw its reflection in the glass near the front door and burst through. It then obviously made one or more passes around the front lobby before finding its way back out the shattered window.
It left spatters of blood on the walls, blinds and floor, and a few little tufts of hair on the carpet. A small section of bare floor was also considerably scraped and gouged by its hooves.
A second witness reportedly saw the animal making its escape back across Avenue B and past the library, possibly headed for the woods around Cassidy Park.
By 6 p.m. the clean up was under way, and the rest of the broken window was knocked out and temporarily replaced with plywood. One person on the scene commented that she was glad the intruder hadn’t left a deposit.
Resource Retail Coordinator Lynn Kennedy agreed. She commended the BPD, and said she was certainly surprised to get a call that a deer had broken into the bank.
“But we don’t discriminate against anyone,” she smiled.
Because there was no blood found outside the building it is believed the deer was not seriously injured.
The window was the only real damage at the bank.
