Ooooh spookyyyyyyyyyyyy
I've no idea, foxes sound feasable but let us know if it happens again or if you solve the mystery.

I bet it was foxes, I was gardening one day and found an old bone that one of the dogs must have buried. I put it on top of this wall thing that surrounds our barbecue (quite high up). I forgot about it but the next morning it have been taken down, chewed into 4 pieces and scattered round the garden! I think it was foxes.

Same here. There are loads of foxes near my dad's house & one day I looked into the field next to my dad's and Max's kong was sitting quite a way into the field.

I'd expect foxes to take anything even slightly foodie but I didn't know if they would play with toys, would they just do it out of curiosity? There are definitely foxes around here but I didn't think they could scale 6ft fences!

The mystery deepens....

A fox can easily scale 6' fences we frequently find one sitting on top of our shed which is about 9' tall He sits there tormenting the dogs they can bark but they can't get anywhere near him

Maybe it's a late-night web-surfer with a Mac! My first Mac could be set to make the sound of a squeaky toy whenever it had an "alert message" - I used to keep the setting because it sent the TZBCs bonkers

Perhaps it's a fox doing some late-night surfing on a Mac....?

Maybe a cat caught a mouse and was playing with it, or it could have been an owl catching a mouse

kobie my cat is a real hunter, he often tortures mice in the garden, they do squeek, but not really that loud, not like a toy would, poss a cat with a vole or similar, duno what noise a rat or whatever would make, the mystery continues,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Obviously - mice, rats and voles doing some early rehearsals for their Christmas concert -
