Thieving squirrels!

Friday night we had 5 or 6 cherry tomatoes ripening on the vine.  Yesterday morning we had none!  My first instinct is to blame the squirrels because I've actually seen the little [expletive deleted]s make off with tomatoes from neighbors' gardens.  However, raccoons, possums or who-knows-what-else could also be guilty.  Good thing we have plenty of wildlife mesh left so we can cover our poor little denuded tomato plant.  Well, okay, not denuded - the little thieves didn't touch the foliage or the pea-sized tomatoes that are still too green even for their marauding little selves - but sadly defruited.
