Heh. Been there. Done that. A few years ago I awoke to a blonde skunk rummaging through the trash I forgot to hang from the lantern pole. During that same trip I caught a raccoon dragging away one of panniers in the middle of the night. It was empty, but during the day it had held a very aromatic everything bagel. My guess is that the smell had lingered. Even once had a feral cat get my garbage before I had a chance to dispose of it.
Then there were these guys last year. Heard some chattering in the trees while reading by the campfire so I turned on the headlamp. Clearly plotting evil.
