It doesn't surprise me at all that a raccoon is able to steal suet from a wire suet 
feeder.  This past summer we had a "gang" of them (a mother and two teenagers, 
apparently) that were remarkably adept at getting the tightly-fitting lid off a small 
galvanized can in which I was keeping birdseed.

I use the wire chain on the top of my suet feeder to hook it around the top of the 
pole from which I have three tube feeders hanging.  That way, it is above the 
squirrel baffle.  I've never had any problems with nonavian suet thieves.
