What non-lethal methods work best to keep city squirrels away from tomatoes?

It is a serious problem here. I wouldn't mind sharing some tomatoes, but the

squirrels here are very rude and do not share. And actually taunt. Taking

a bite out of a perfectly good tomato and then leaving it.

Go to your local Asian market and get some bright red (fresh) Thai chilies. Attach them to your plants with twist ties. One little nibble and they'll find some other thing to eat.
