Ya they are curious.. and love anything shiny. Growing up we made traps for them using shiny tin cans. They would refuse to let go of it..simply all they had to do. But if its shiny.. its theirs! But there are surprising clean like the Grammie sad above.. ive seen them take crawdads out of the creeks, shell it, then wash it before eating it. They are very interesting.
Damn raccoons.

Yeah... Raccoons can be Evil.
That's the look he gave me when I saw him with my PV in his grubby hands! showing teeth and growling!
When I was a little kid (3-4 years old) my grandparents had racoons that would come up onto their deck, and I would feed them bread out of my hand. It was always fun when I was little.
Then I grew up and found out how nasty they could be and thought "how in the world could they let me do that?"
Most people hate them, but thanks to my grandparents, I have a soft spot for 'em.

Actually, they "clean" their food because they don't produce saliva. The "cleaning" is how they get enough liquid to digest the food they eat. That's why you can't tell if a raccoon has rabies, because since they don't produce saliva, they don't foam at the mouth the way other rabid animals do.
I happen to really love raccoons. I know they can be very mean but that's their defense mechanism. I've often "run into" them on my front porch and when they see me they go running. I've never had a run-in with one but I know that they can be vicious when cornered or protecting their young. I would be too.
How interesting. Cool story son. Most people would not realize, but the OP is my son. Heck, I didnt realize it. We are
from Va, and he and his family are currently stationed in Cali. I had read this post earlier and didn't even put two and two together (I blame tapatalk) and even was going to post how I used to take my son coonhunting. Then he called and was telling this story to his mom! Wait a sec, I read that story today and checked the OPs username and sure enough...
Now gotta figure out how to friend him via tapatalk

Don't be so sure. Looks like someone is releasing stills from the video already.
(Checking YouTube in another browser window as I type...)
And that's why the government wants to regulate vaping. The ever present danger of kids & coons getting hooked!

I miss racoons and squirrels so much! None of them round here, plenty in Yorktown Heights where a family friend of ours lived. No cute critters around here, at least not that much cute!
Thanks for the Laugh-Needed it- So glad you got your PV back! Still Smiling from the image- too funny!

links/images or it didnt happen
I feel for you. Raccoons and crows just can't be trusted.
My advice - Connibear 220 + Square 5 gal bucket + a mixture of Clam juice and Cat Food. Search "bucket set for raccoon" on youtube.
Wait! I got 'im! I got im! Grab him! Quick
DANG! Sorry about that. That's his brother who hasn't converted yet.

I would not get in a physical tussel with a raccoon for any vape I've owned or seen. Verbal, sure.
