Arr sorry brain read it wrong. Foxes here will snatch and run if they know they may get caught staying too long. They are scarely smart. Only takes a week for them to work out a dog on a chain can't stop them.We do, like I wrote, we just don't have raccoons... Or I thought that we didn't, @WannaBeHillBilly is suggesting otherwise and he may be right. Which is troublesome. Because in my view a raccoon is more stealthy and more dexterous than a drunk village boy causing trouble on a dare, and probably also more than a sober one.
