Anyone with raccoon experience as I haven't had any...
to get to the lotus tub the raccoon would have gone past
the bog which is shallow and stuffed with plants and
snails and tadpoles (and had no damage which made
me think it was not a raccoon), go up a long flight of stairs
then somehow jump or climb up to a platform table that has
no walking room on it, and walk along a railing.
Can they do that sort of obstacle course?

Today there was no damage or any indication that anyone
had been in the yard.
