@GoDawgs I think it might be a skunk. I've seen one on patrol in the back yard and again a few nights ago. I used Down To Earth organic fertilizer when setting out my small tomato plants about a week and a half ago, much to my regret, it must smell like a banquet to the skunk because he went in with great enthusiasm. Potting soil strewn about and a deep hole in the pot. Very disappointed to see little Bradley dug up and almost dead (saved it in just the nick of time). Now I did what I did last year: I covered up the pots with black plastic lawn and leaf bags. Hole cut in the bottom, drawstring at the top, snug around the plant's base. With the dirt covered it is no longer attractive to the digging skunks. Also, the skunk seems to like the low-lying felt pots (7 gal.). He (or she) ignores the taller vinyl pots.
