A guy I knew had one as a pet. It got into his kitchen cupboard and just had to know what hidden gems were under the plates.

Pulls a plate out and lets it crash to the floor. "Huh. another plate. I wonder what's under that one." Crash! "Huh. another plate. I wonder what's under that one." Crash! "Huh. Another plate. I wonder what's under that one..."

I had a coworker who had a raccoon. She said sometimes it would open every single cupboard in the kitchen, every drawer it could get to, all the Tupperware containers in every cupboard or drawer, and turn all the water on in the entire house. That's when I decided I don't want a pet raccoon.

I don't want one as a pet either, but God that's some adorable mischief

I was car camping once and the racoons pulled the ice chest out from under the truck, opened the ice chest which was one of those closures that has a flap with a pin that goes through it, opened the carton of eggs, cracked each egg open, and ate the eggs without making any sort of mess. They put each egg shell back inside its egg carton spot. They're very smart animals.

I saw a raccoon on my shed a few months ago and walked over to look at it. It hissed at me. When I didn't respond to the hissing it started licking its paw like an embarrassed cat.

US President Calvin Coolidge had a pet raccoon, Rebecca, who would frequently unscrew lightbulbs.
