I had this big fat dirty bastard who used to knock over our garbage cans (down the Jersey shore) and spread the garbage all over our lawn. It could undo the locking handles of the garbage can and would gnaw through or even untie ropes we used.

GET YOUR GUN and shoot him!

If the raccoon had a problem with that, he oughta thought to invent himself a gun.
