Turbo,
We've got so many of the varmints that they have witnessed their pals being trapped in the Havahart and have become trap shy. They reach their little hands through the sides and steal the bait. They are a real plaque here, I used to have a few chickens but the coons killed them all. No love lost between us, unfortunately even with the Remington solution in play, it hasn't thinned the herd at all. They steal everything, even the cat's food has to be taken in at night [Wife's cat, I have to pretend to be concerned]. The other day I was watching some "favorite home videos" show [on fta of course] and they had a video of a coon reaching in a pet door and stealing a rug! Like a coon needs to wipe his feet! They'll steal anything!
