I spoke to three different people from my Pest Control Company. they all confirmed it is a " community "problem vis a vis "a select village problem. they explained that they can't keep the bait boxes filled fast enough.

My wife believed I was making too much of this and laughed when I complained that she was leaving the garage door up too long; that is until she happened on one in our yard. Since then it has been a joint and continuous campaign of prevention and eradication

I suspect the reason some people have not spotted these critters is because a) they are not really looking', b) those who have have bait boxes

Look at the layout of TV, its trees, thick vegetation approximate closeness of homes, expansion, mild winters and its a recipe for a perfect storm
