So was changing oil in the scoot.. my backup (my only backup, as I wait patiently for my replacement) was standing there shining in the moonlight. I turned around to grab a vape, and a damn raccoon had it IN HIS HANDS and GROWLED AT ME! So, I thought I would growl/yell back at it... Yep it worked, except he didn't drop my PV! he ran with it! So here I am chasing this raccoon across the yard as he is be-lining for a tree to retreat with my PV. I then threw..an object.. at him and he finally dropped it. Realizing he dropped his new shiny object, he turned to face me. So here I am facing off to the death with some malevolent raccoon. I would run at it, it would growl..I would run away. back and forth we go. Finally I got close enough to my PV to grab it and haul ..... My neighbors are laughing there tails off, watching all the commotion from the safety of their windows. I used to .... hunt growing up.. Maybe this is Karma trying to catch up with me. Never in my life! Just thought I would share my evening..
Damn raccoons.

I would buy a ticket to see a grown adult chasing a raccoon carrying a PV around the yard.
Buy a Ruger 10/22.

I would have enjoyed watching that just as much as your neighbors did. Too bad they didnt video tape it. lol

That is awesome if u would have gotten it on cam u could have made some money lol
There are few problems in this world that cannot be solved by the use of a high velocity projectile.
This is a good example.
Glad you got your PV back!

I wouldn't be surprised if I am pictured on MSN "Lunatic has a show down with cute raccoon." He really wanted it though.. like he was prepared to die for his new precious shiny object.
I hope he didn't put his nasty lips on it. I don't think he did, I haven't came down rabid yet. lol. Ya I did wash it with dawn afterwards.

so new note to self, when doing any kind of work outside with pv, keep a bb gun or airsoft gun with me... dont think shooting regular firearm would be accepted well, especially in regards to a raccoon... but an airsoft/bb should still get the job done...
but it reminded me of a really funny story... so a few years back in the barracks i stayed in, when single... there was a raccoon that lived underneath said barracks building... well he became the unofficial mascot and people would feed him, etc... so anyways, animals on post are much more comfortable with people on military bases due to exposure, and well a buddy of mine decided one day he wanted to get a video... so there he is with billy (yes he was named, and even had a fb page made for him) tossing popcorn to him...
pulls out his iphone and starts to video tape it... gently tossing pieces to him, luring billy closer (yes very dumb and dangerous but billy "seemed" tame ish) finally he tried to get billy to take a piece of popcorn from his hand...
billy reaches out and takes a piece from him, he puts another and billy gets closer, and well finally billy reaches out for the phone, he freaks, billy runs the other way, phone drops... billy is gone... all in all priceless... lil guy got greedy...
