Residents in a Fairfield neighborhood are trying to figure out where a sow and her pack of piglets came from after they tore up several yards Wednesday night.
"There was something I never seen before, big chunks of grass was everywhere," said David Gordon, who woke up to his front yard ripped apart.

WATCH HEREA neighbor's surveillance camera captured the culprits foraging for food. Now, neighbors are worried it could happen again.
"My concern is, will they come back? Will they cause more damage? Will they come back during the day when my kids are playing outside, when I'm thinking they're safe?" said Jesse Kalkat.
Chuck Hooker said he saw the sow and her piglets foraging around 12:30 A.M.
"I look out and there’s big heavy mama pig and six little piglets and I was looking it up this window at them," Hooker said. "Nobody believed me this morning. I got up and told my neighbors here and neighbors there, and they told me I must’ve been stoned."
Although damage to Hooker's lawn was minor, he wants answers.

"I just wanna find out where they came from and make sure it doesn’t happen again. If they’re wild, somebody’s going to have to take care of them," he said.
Some neighbors said they fear the pigs are still out and about.
