There are no raccoons around. The city of St. Petersburg
outlaws them in the city because if they're out there, they're
90% likely to be rabid I'm told.

Just because they're outlawed don't mean they're not there. Last one I
checked with didn't seem to care much about reading law books.

Unless St. Pete has a vector control program of the most exceptional
diligence, dollars to donuts there are raccoons there. There are in
just about every mild-climate city in the US. They adapt really well
to suburbs and are thought to be more abundant now than they ever
were.
