Would you consider a family of fox on your property a good thing? Why?

(NSF Squeamish) If you are squeamish or from PETA look away now. OK?

I live in a semi-rural area a couple of hundred feet from a state park and share my property with a lot critters: mice, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoon, deer, coyote. Some kind people from the suburbs, who are plagued by these same animals, trap them at their homes and, illegally, release them in my neighborhood where they reproduce and wreak havoc. I regularly set out traps for the critters that get into my barn where they chew wires, destroy car interiors, chew hoses. and generally make a mess. Each day I toss the bodies in a certain spot and, without fail, by the next morning they are gone without a trace. I figure I was recycling. I set up a deer camera and discovered it was a red fox family cleaning up every night. Nice.
My neighbor recently told me they had trapped (and eliminated) 6 fox this past month. They consider the fox pests and a threat to their small dogs and grandchildren. I was shocked and said nothing. I consider them gorgeous, graceful, magical creatures of the night, but I have no small pets or grandchildren.
Ignoring the legality of the trapping, what do you think of fox on your property? Are they dangerous? Would you eliminate them?
