Raccoons generally prefer to remain unseen when they're stealing food from unsuspecting humans, since many humans will kill a raccoon caught with their paws in the cookie jar.
But this stealthy style of thievery seems to be used only by city raccoons, because coastal 'coons don't give a crap about stealth or sublety.
Case in point- this video posted by Janna Breslin which shows her struggle with a brazen coastal 'coon from Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida as the critter tries to snatch her bag.
