This^^I would just pack up and move
No, but seriously. If they do return after you've taken the precautions with the food and after you've relocated them. There is only one viable option left.
(Other than calling animal control)
Your just going to have to shoot the raccoon. Now, I know you said you can't discharge a firearm, because your in the city limits. But I can't really see anyone being ticketed or taken to jail for one or two shots. If your worried about the noise, try picking up a box of subsonic .22 bullets. Winchester Super-X subsonics are very reliable. Aim for the center of the head and pull the trigger. That's just my 2 cents, that is, if they come back. If not, problem solved. Personally, I'm just glad you didn't drowned one in a bucket of water.
