Raccoon Attack #4
The Raccoons are back, and It's my (Miki) fault. Guess what they are trying to get this time? It was an empty bag of Fig Newton I had a coupe days ago. We make sure to keep Geo windows closed while parking here, so 1 empty snack bag (and some napkins with nice cheetos orange smear) shouldn't be a problem, right? We were proven wrong about raccoons' capabilities. This afternoon, when I opened Geo door to get to laundry room, I found napkins (of course with cheetos orange), tissue papers and empty Fig Newton bag. It's been really windy last couple of days, but windows are closed. It's not winds. So it means - The Raccoons again. How they got inside the car? There's one minor fact we forgot. Our Geo has soft top which its back window section's zipper has been ripped and has opening about 4 inches. That was the secret path that raccoons took. 4-inch opening now became 2 foot obvious opening. They must have searched for an opening all over the car. Next thing Keath and I saw was their paw prints all over the roof, spare tire and bumper. I was amazed how sharp their noses are and can detect the tiny scent of an empty snack bag sitting inside closed car. They are really determined and persistent about food. Yosemite bears have some serious competitors here. One more step closer to getting a hard top for Geo.
