Mountain Lion Tries to Break Into Home
A Thousand Oaks woman told authorities that a mountain lion, apparently in pursuit of food, tried to break into her home Friday.
Lorraine Scarano, 31, reported hearing banging sounds on the doors leading to her Lang Ranch backyard about 8 a.m.
She went to investigate and said she saw the cat standing nearby staring into the home at her, before it turned and darted over the fence line surrounding the one-acre property. The animal’s paw prints were on the glass doors, she said.
