They do like creating communal latrines so if you've got one raccoon leaving souvenirs on your roof, you're going to have all of them. It turns nasty fast because they'll keep coming back to defecate in the same spot.

She screamed and ran and she thought the raccoon did, too. From outside she called 911 and thye came out and wrangled up the raccoon. It had apparently been in her attic and had chewed its way down into the cabinet!
