The Jaws of Life were left in the truck, thankfully unneeded, as a pair of baby raccoons reported to be stuck in wires on the Upper West Side were, instead, found to be merely sleeping, perilously close to barbed wire. The Police Department’s Emergency Services Unit decided to leave the babies be, free to dream of comfier resting places.
