Osborne, 71, told the Detroit-area news station that the sound of breaking glass awakened him Sunday night. When he went downstairs to the basement, he found a ground-level window broken out and belongings scattered around the room.
Osborne spotted a coyote curled up near an artificial tree that the wild animal had knocked over. He hurried back upstairs and dialed 911.
Local 4 News reported that animal control officers secured the animal and released it on a nearby golf course.
Osborne was in for another surprise when he returned to the basement and found a second coyote, the news station said. Officers returned for the second animal and, like the first, released it onto the golf course.
Each coyote weighed about 45 pounds, the news station reported.
