Don’t you hate it when the store doesn’t have what you’re looking for?

Photos tweeted by the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office show the critter appearing to browse the store’s selection of Christmas trees before trashing the joint.

While authorities haven’t released a motive, The Washington Post made the astute observation that the forest creature acted out after finding that the store’s Christmas trees were all artificial.

We hope you find the trees you’re looking for eventually, little one.
