I've been waiting all season for red tomatoes.
Now that I finally have them, the Squirrels are eating them while
they're still on the plants.

You have my sympathy. They're doing the same thing to me. I've never
noticed this happening in previous years. This is in suburban Boston.
To add insult to injury, they usually only eat half the tomato and
leave it sitting to mock me.
