Coyotes are not to be trifled with, and bears have an incredible sense
of smell (they might smell the greasy hamburger you had for lunch, or
its wrapper):

Note Dublin is an upscale 'Silicon Valley' community; the little girl
will (possibly) have to endure a rabies protocol treatment if they don't
find the offending coyote.
I think they're mostly solitary, but if they ganged-up like wolves
they'd be a real problem; they've largely prospered shadowing humans for
garbage or whatever food-like stuff we leave hanging around. There are
quite a few roaming the (mostly empty) streets of San Francisco.
