Who dug up my rhubarb plants?

Something dug up both my rhubarb plants
What would like rhubarb enough to not just dig it up but totally remove every part of it?
I've had 2 wonderful "starts" of rhubarb that have been growing for 2 years. Now they're totally gone. The holes are about a foot deep & the hole is "clean as a whistle."
Thanks charm

Disappearing rhubarb NEW
by: ~ Megan

I like rhubarb crumble enough to dig it up – but it wasn't me, promise.

Somebody else has good taste... so who? Do you have a backpackers' Hostel nearby? I say this — sorry most backpackers — because of problems with backpackers caught red-handed raiding gardens and property in a few towns in this part of the world

Back in my heyday it was a few hippies from local communes who were rather good at helping themselves to ripe peaches etc from local private trees.

Am I showing my age here, do hippies still exist?

Apart from 2 legged robbers, possibly squirrels would be likely candidates for digging up plants, but don't ask me how they make the pies? Check if any squirrel or other animal droppings nearby, and let's hope whoever they are, don't return to dig up other plants. Would love to know who the culprits are.
