My coworker told me this; it happened last night after I left. Note our property has some fields and brush areas and has a population of deer, foxes, wild cats, etc.
Coworker saw a truck sitting in the road. Just sitting. So he approached to see if the Driver was having vehicle issues. The Driver was standing by his truck watching a few deer in the field.
Driver: "You see that!?"
CW: "What? The deer? Yeah, we have a few around here."
Driver: "I know! I just called the police!"
CW: "Um, why did you do that?"
Driver: "Because they're dangerous! Someone could hit one, or they could crash through the mall doors!"
From what the Driver then explained, he had stopped in the road to watch the deer and had gotten out of the truck, and one had come nosing-up to him (they see a lot of people) He started shouting and banging the truck to scare it off, and it ran a little ways away, then stopped and kept doing deer stuff. Apparently, this upset him that the deer would not run away!
CW: "In the 5-years I've been there nobody's ever hit a deer and they've never crashed through our windows."
Driver: "Well, someone needs to take care of them!"
And yes, 2-police cars did show up and drove around shining their spotlights into the brush, and which point the deer ran off.
