What about the random moron trying to steal copper wire from the pole (and getting glass instead)?
Don't squirrels go back to their stash? Could a squirrel get through that hole, or were those just a lost stash?
Eh, if the number of small oak trees I find sprouting in my flower beds is any indication, the squirrels' brains are smaller than the acorns and they forget where they left them. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
