Maybe they haven't gone back yet...they probably figured it died already...besides, I don't think they'd mind the note if their assholes enough to rip out your precious plant twice.
Shit, all i can say is be careful man,from one grower to the next....we wish you (and your plant) the best, but I'd personally consider abandoning the location...even if it is an animal, it's obvious that your plant is not 100% safe there.
