*Ø* Shenanigans in Donegal

"(Reuters) - A randy ram-raider smashed into a car showroom after letting his animal instincts get the better of him, Irish police said Friday.

"The intruder -- a stray ram belonging to a local farmer -- broke windows, soiled the garage and dented three doors of a new Mitsubishi Colt before he was apprehended by police officers.

"'The notion is that he saw his own reflection in the glass and, as I understand it, this was the natural reaction of a ram, particularly at this time of year,' said Inspector Greg Sullivan.

"Sullivan and an employee at the garage in the town of Moville, County Donegal, said newspaper reports of 10,000 euros ($12,400) worth of damage were probably exaggerated."
