Police arrived quickly, saw the funny side of the situation, and used a mop handle and bucket to get the possum outside.It took "quite some prodding and poking'' to get the persistent pest to move, but eventually it was nudged off the shelf, and "thank goodness it ran for the nearest exit".Kaspin said she planned to sleep with her window closed in future.
警方迅速到达，看到了这有趣的一幕，并使用拖把把手和桶把负鼠赶到了外面。为了赶走它警方颇费了一番戳戳捅捅，最终负鼠被从柜子上推了下来，“谢天谢地，它跑到最近的出口处。”Kaspin说她今后将关上窗户睡觉。
