Raccoons and Birdbaths

We have had a raccoon raiding the birdfeeders lately at the house. Last Saturday night the raccoons decided to take a bath in the birdbath, we have one similar to this one with an old handpump on top of it. Anyway the raccoons dumped the hand pump off and chipped it, luckily it did not break through. It would be great to have some really nice garden antiques like this one but I fear the various critters ( along with winter ) would eventually destroy them.

So right now we are trying to get the raccoons in a live trap and relocate them to coon paradise somewhere in Wisconsin. We put the trap out last night and then right before I fell asleep I am lying in bed thinking what if I catch a skunk in there?
