And then we noticed this:

Evidently this little guy or girl and his or her entire family (we spotted three total) are helping themselves to my tomatoes. We watched it pick the tomato right off the vine and proceed to carry it over to the stump and munch. Tyler found about 7 tomatoes on the ground over there that looked like this:

Please…..if they are going to eat my tomatoes that I worked so hard to grow then at least have the decency to eat the whole thing and not leave the evidence behind. Little thief.

Yes, if I saw the leftovers I would probably have the urge to chuck them at the closest backyard buddy.
