Do raccoons live in sewers? (story)?

So today i was out on a run with my friends and we saw these two REALLY CUTE baby raccons... they were near the sewer. then one just falls in and we start freaking out... it was a baby and it was so cute... so we lift up teh sewer thing.. (yeah it was heavy but the baby raccoon gave us strength ha.) so we call all our friends if they have a net and theyre not there, dont have one, busy, etc. so we call the police and theyre like um we dont deal with those kind of situations. like WTF YOUR JUST GONNA LET THIS CRITTER DIE? so we try calling the nature center and theyre closed.. we call teh operator for animal controls number and for some reason they dont have it and tell us to ask 911. so i call them again and theyre like just tell us what the situation is, and we do and they just have a guy come over to us. so a guy comes and is like uhh did you guys lift that up (the sewer) and we were like yeah... it was funny haha ANYWAYS he was like raccoons live in sewers you guys are just bothering it. and we were like ummm no they live in trees and s.hit. and he was like well im not going down there... so yeah it was pretty funny ahah anyway so do raccoons live in sewers? im pretty sure they dont... it was pretty desperate to get out and be with its other brother/sister. it was keep on screaming and attempted to climb up but failed :( btw here's a picture of its brother! http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs571.snc3/31169_1237641736191_1083661232_31107855_3093585_n.jpg so fricken cute :( hope its bro is okay D:

1. *Looks to left* *Looks to right* I don't know! Cool story by the way!
2. No they don't really live there.... His brother and him most likely got separated from the mom. It happens all the time. Raccoons do go down into the sewers and look for food etc, but they don't tend to live down there. Not unless it has certain things. If it's in a city, then yes, they are more likely to be living down there than in trees. They make nests in holes in trees and they sleep on tree branches too. I'm sure they'd sleep down there...but with the little guy he might not have been big enough to get out on his own. They are very cute but not always the best pets. I had one as a pet when I was 13. He was the most obnoxious hyper little gu in the whole world and he bit all the time...so I don't suggest rescuing him.
3. they tend not to live in sewers, they are very particular about their environment and are easily thrown out of homeostasis (natural conditions). it may or may not be able to survive depending on available resources, shelter, et cetera.
4. In Rural places they live in barns and other structures.In Cities they live in SEWERS and other Subterranean places.Don't Anger them or they'll fight you,They can live or naturally they live in hollow trees,burrows,rock cervices and bush patches.
5. No.
