Silly bear, cars are for people. Story out of Jefferson County, Colorado:
Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies freed a bear Tuesday morning from a Subaru near the Chief Hosa campground after the bruin apparently entered the unlocked vehicle, only to trap itself inside.
The encounter, about 9 a.m., was captured on cell phone video. The car’s windows were all closed at the time.
Mark Techmeyer, spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said the interior of the car — as shown in the recording — was totally destroyed.
The two deputies who responded tried initially to free the medium-sized bear with a remote trunk opener, but when that didn’t work, one freed the animal while the other stood by with a shotgun.
Authorities say they could tell by all the moisture on the windows in the car that the bear had clearly been inside for a while. Given the size of the bruin, investigators also wondered if there was a mama bear nearby.
In June 2015, a similar encounter happened when a bear climbed inside a pickup truck in Evergreen and locked itself inside. Along with destroying the vehicle’s interior, that bear also left a fecal surprise. Cont. (Video)
