"Coyotes stalk dog-walker in town woods; Woman, 4 Labs safe after 911 call" by Stewart Bishop, Globe Correspondent | June 12, 2009
The police were able to locate Burke's exact position using their enhanced 911 system, which pinpointed her cellphone, Kirmelewicz said.
"The GPS feature proved to be a great tool in this instance," Kirmelewicz said. "If we hadn't been able to locate her, who knows what could have happened?"

Burke said this experience has made her think that more should be done to control the coyote population. "We used to do controlled hunts for coyotes," she said. "But that's not the case anymore, and the population is out of control."
Yeah, that's the AMERIKAN SOLUTION to EVERYTHING" KILL IT!!!!!
Kirmelewicz said that while coyote sightings are not uncommon, it is unusual for them to act this way, and he urged people to take certain precautions when out in rural, wooded areas.
Oh, INTRUDING on THEIR HABITAT, are you?
Wouldn't YOU DEFEND YOUR HOME, human?
"I would suggest the best thing to do, if you're approached by coyotes, is to make a lot of noise to try and scare them off," he said. "And always carry a cellphone."
So we can track ya!
