Default OK to pick before fully ripe?

Hi all,

I have read somewhere that a tomato will taste just as good if picked mostly green and left to ripen on its own, as a tomato fully ripened on the vine. Could this possibly be true. I'll try it myself, but I'm interested in what all of you think about this.

The reason I ask is because there is some critter coming in at night and taking bites out of my tomatoes. I wouldn't even mind if it would eat all of one and leave the rest alone, but this thing likes to sample several just before they are ripe.

This is bringing out my killer instincts.
