The last official report I saw was in the Village of Tall Trees, that's just behind Bob Evans on 466. A very busy and congested area, and yet two small dogs were snatched by Coyotes. One in broad daylight from the front yard while the owner stood just feet away. The one lesson learned is, don't let your dog off a leash.

Don't think you're safe in a CYV, just last month my neighbor was on a ladder trimming his Sylvester Palm when he saw two eyes starring back at him. He thought, they're awful big for a tree rat. Then the animal fell down and it was a huge Bobcat. The man came down the ladder and the cat was up against the wall and couldn't get out except to go by the man. Instead, he went right over the 7' wall.
