A fat racoon with sharp nails

Last night a fat racoon woke me about 4am. His sharp claws made funny noises on the fence. I saw his silhouette and he sure was FAT! Good eats around here I guess. He went for my compost pile, but I had secured it well in the evening and he didn't stay there long. Funny though, that he wasn't going for the garbage that was all out by the street last night because it was garbage night. He must be a very shy, fat racoon.
