Baling wire is our friend...just like duct tape. 
My lawnmower chute has been wired on by myself and has functioned for 5 years.   Before that, I went through 3 - $20 plastic chutes.
Pshaw I say on store parts...BAILING WIRE RULES!   

Now, as to the coons, put a live trap in the can.   if it is a coon, then he will be trapped.  If not, then perhaps someone just looking for some food....ugh....from what you described in your trash can, they will be desparate!

Ah  flashbacks!  I remember driving in the mountains of Wyoming with my mother on some of the more or less scenic dirt roads.  We were just out for a Sunday drive.  The car was a '58 Chevy Bel-air, first car I (or I should say, Mom) ever owned.  Bouncing around on those old logging roads, a welded shock absorber frame came loose and bounced on the road and up through the gas tank making a dime size hole.  Twenty miles from nowhere and leaking gas like crazy.  My mother, being a smart Elk County woman, unwrapped some bubble gum for both of us to chew and then I plastered the stuff into and onto the gas tank.  It held with very little leakage.  We made it back to the lumber camp where we were living at the time.  And, it held for about a week until I could drive to Laramie to the dealer to have the shock replaced and the tank repaired.  The mechanic said at the time he had never seen such a repair as the bubble gum.  It had to do with all the sugar, I think.  God bless MOM!

I wonder if you can see the Hornet Spook Light from the upper floors of Downstream Casino?

Ah, the Hornet Spooklight.

I went looking for it about 1974. With a girl friend, we sat on a lonely desolate road with about a dozen other cars for several hours before leaving about 3:00am.

Never have talked to anyone who has actually seen it, although a reporter for the KC Star says he saw it.

I've never seen it. A bunch of us bored teenagers (this was a FEW years back) went looking for it more than once. Have you seen show about Mater (from Cars) and the Spook Light? That was hilarious! BTW, I've never heard it called the Hornet Spook Light, just the "Spook Light over by Joplin".
