Years ago, there used to be a huge population of raccoons here in Silicon Valley. I used to see raccoons the size of border collies walking down the sidewalk at night. I was starting to expect to see one carrying a briefcase. One night I came home from work to find an army (maybe a dozen) of raccoons ripping up my lawn with their little hands. Just peeling up the turf. Turned out I had grubs. Lately, I don't see them. I wonder if the city did something to limit the population. I still see some holes in my lawn where they're testing for grubs, so the population is not zero.
