Perhaps They Stole Her Perfume?
Erie County, NY
A woman reportedly left her purse in her unlocked vehicle as she used a restroom in Ellicott Creek Park. After she returned to her vehicle and drove away, she realized her purse was missing. When she returned to the park later that evening she was chased away by skunks.

I’d say it was a gang heist - the raccoons took the purse and the skunks are the lookouts, keeping prying eyes away from the loot.

Maybe she had a fur or leather purse and the skunks were PETA in disguise.
