Squirrels on Crack

Monday October 10, 2005
"I was chatting with my neighbour who told me that crack users and dealers sometimes use my front garden to hide bits of their stash," says a Register informant in London. "An hour earlier I'd seen a squirrel wandering round the garden, digging in the flowerbeds. It looked like it knew what it was looking for. It was ill-looking and its eyes looked bloodshot but it kept on desperately digging. It was almost as if it was trying to find hidden crack rocks."

Huh?  Squirrels addicted to crack?  Is it even possible?  Discuss it.
