Yeah, the raccoons generally don't bother people - just pets or trash cans.
It can be rough to loose the animals! My folks have lost chickens and ducks to coyotes. It's never fun but it's really strange how some birds seem to always get away when all the others eventually get taken. My folks have had one bird for a bunch of years now. She's has been impossible to catch by people or coyotes. She hangs around and they feed her even though she is long past good for anything. They figure that if she could hang out for this long she deserves to be cared for!
