According to security footage obtained by MailOnline, the lion was seen prowling about five miles away near another homeowner's driveway.
Executive Director of the Montecito Association Sharon Byrne said: "The fact we have security footage shows though that residents are taking this seriously as it was shot by a camera which is what we've been urging residents to install."

She added: "Chickens can be a fast, easy source of food for hunting animals so they have to be safe and secure.
"We want all locals to secure their homes and secure their chicken coops and whatever other animals they may have."

Sharon hopefully continued: "We also urge residents to secure their garbage so animals can go rummaging around for scraps, to have night lighting, alarms, cameras and so on.
"Mountain lions are solitary creatures and ultimately, they don't want to be around people so we're hoping this one moves on by itself."
