RE: Tomato Theives!

Fruit beetles (maybe aka June beetles?) can make enormous inroads on a
tomato and leave sticky spots behind. You'd probably know if you've got them
though, they're almost 1 1/2 inches long and buzz around pretty slowly.

Ok some thing is eating my tomatoes!  Seems whatever it is has BIG  TEETH!  
And there was a sticky residue on one of the tomatoes.  Have  no clue were
that 
came from.
At first I thought it was my dog Max, but the tomatoes on the back, where
he 
could not climb back there as I have them in containers against a wall, are

the ones with the bite marks..
No sign of bugs either.
