conocean Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 That would have to be a monster racoon! I've seen where a FL panther destroyed the door of a metal shed years ago when my friend's daughter kept her bunny in it. Markings were similar. Call animal control so they can bait & trap that critter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Geez! I wouldn't expect a raccoon to chase a cat, but what do I know. Seems weird, I don't see any scratches or gouges on the tires. Any neighbors have a camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsdoctor Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wish there was a camera ! i think it happened in Tavernier or Isla Morada. I don't know of any bigger wild animals there. Maybe a jealous ex girlfriend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurem Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Could it have been one of those Iguana's if it was in the keys? They look so menacing on the side of the road!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clink Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Coyote maybe. Seems like you would need something with a lot of weight to do that much body damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsdoctor Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 what's curious is that all scratches are pointing towards the center. (or away from it) I would expect scratches to be more vertical and not in such a centrifugal pattern. Specially the ones on the bottom of the front bumper. To scratch it like that, the perpetrator needed to get sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I think thats from a dog dude. I don't think a raccoon could get enough leverage to dent a fender. It would have to be a world record raccoon to have a mouth deep enough to put teeth marks 4-5" up into the sheet metal. ...or a drunken cougar as Paul stated. Was there any lipstick or glitter on the fender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsdoctor Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Still no clue. It has to be something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
