Default tomato cage?

I was coming down the driveway this afternoon and the damn squirrel ran past
me, with a green tomato in it's mouth. One of my tomatoes... Anyone ever
built a tomato cage to keep squirrels out? I think that is the only hope...
I have tried: chicken wire, wolf urine, plastic snakes, tin foil on string.
Nothing keeps the evil vermin away.

I read somewhere last year, the only fool proof thing is a cage over the
plant with a lid that can be opened and clasped closed. I love fresh
tomatoes and am not growing them for some very rude squirrels. If I can't
have them, I will take the plants out.
