Smart little critters, aren't they?
My niece used to keep her cat food on the porch, and the racoons would come up and (neatly) eat it. So, she started putting it in her shed. They opened the door, and (neatly) ate it. Well, she decided to get serious, so she put a padlock on the door, slipped through the latch but not locked. She was sure that was the end of the problem. Put, next morning, pounds of cat food are gone again.
Puzzled, she decided to wait up and watch. About midnight, here come a family of racoons. One stands up against the door of the shed, while another climbs up onto his shoulders and takes off the padlock! 
After that, she just gave up and let them have it.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
