You don't have to wait until tomatoes are ripe on the vine. Once the fruit starts to turn color - just touch of pink or orange, the plant is no longer providing nutrients to the tomato. There is a layer of cells in the stem that die. So to save your tomatoes from pests, harvest them once they turn color and let them ripen indoors.
Tomatoes... Everybody has an opinion. Go to one site and they say one thing, go to another and they say never do that. I read Charles Wilber's book 'How to grow world record tomatoes' The picture on the front is of him standing 8 feet up on a step ladder with the top of his tomato plant 4 ft above his head. That's like a 17 ft tall tomato plant. I think I'll stick with his method, thank you. The key in Seattle is heat. Start inside in Feb, plant in late March and cloche for 6 weeks.

@FloridaMonty Only in biology. In every other sense of the tomato it is widely accepted as a veggie.
