A squirrel stole my trowel right off the scaffold in Portland last month

I was working on a chimney repair near Forest Park, and I set my 10 inch Marshalltown down for just a minute. Next thing I know, a big grey squirrel grabs it by the handle and tries to run off with it. It only made it about three feet before the weight was too much, and it dropped the trowel off the side of the scaffold with a loud clang. Has anyone else had a critter mess with their tools on a job?

That raccoon story sounds more like a determined thief than just an obsession.

My buddy had a raccoon that was OBSESSED with his cordless drill battery. This was on a deck rebuild in Seattle. The little bandit would try to drag the whole heavy drill away every single lunch break. They finally had to start locking all the tools in the truck cab because it was so persistent. Never seen anything like it.

That "obsessed with his cordless drill battery" part is pure raccoon logic.
