My daughter would be distraught if the snails disappeared - she regularly rides to school with one stuck to her arm.
Unfortunately in our garden we have found they can completely destroy all of our veg and a lot of other stuff if left. We have a particularly good wildlife environment as we're on a railway embankment and have piles of dead / rotting matter about in an already fairly 'wild' garden, so probably quite encouraging to natural predators. The sheer number of slugs just overwhelm us though, especially when it's wet.
