I vote yes on raccoon. I like that birds pick up and toy with things, but adding a crafty thieving trash-panda that actively covets random trash would be a great little surprise and situation shaker. It'd absolutely have to only be the one, though. More than one would could get incredibly frustrating, because I can already see this turning into the sort of thing that organises lynch mobs to remove.
Maybe it should also, if there's nothing in the area around its chute and it's out of supply, clamber around the pipe networks, leading to some interesting experiences if it gets swept up with a pipe load. Suddenly, that innocuous shipment of medical herbs to medbay now also contains a stunned but frantic raccoon scrambling to get back into the piping.
If someone provides sprites I'll slot it into my coding todo pile, which is looking less like a pile and more like an unclimbable mountain.
