Do racoons attack ripe tomatoes?

Albany, ME(Zone 4b)

Something has been at our garden all summer, but not seriously. Early on it ate the tops of new carrots and parsley, and later the tops of just-about-to-bloom beans. Latest is bites out of ripe tomatoes. (I'm going to start finishing the ripening on the window sill I'm afraid.) The reason for my question is that a family member saw an animal walking through the garden. She's not up on animals, but her description sounds like groundhog more than racoon. But we've caught two racoons in our hava-hart trap. No groundhogs. Do you think racoons can have been the culprits all along?

TIA
