They are a sight to behold when they fly out at dusk. However, when one shows up at a school or inside a store, the bat is swiftly removed and all kinds of alarms go up and warnings about public safety are issued. Why? Because bats can carry rabies.

Coming in contact with a bat that then escapes (and isn't tested) is enough to require a kid to get treated for rabies. Good thing you wore gloves.
