Encounter with a bear. My husband and I were startled out of bed at 2am with my car alarm ringing loudly throughout the neighborhood. Thinking to myself -no one locks their car doors up here, there aren't burglers. Only to find out a bear had opened my car door, climbed in (I assume searching for food), and proceeded to get shut in when the car door closed behind him. One can only imagine what a bear can do to the interior of your car while stuck there for an hour and a half. (see attached picture). The bear finally shattered the back seat window to make his escape leaving behind $9700 dollars of wreckage! (ps - I did not have food in my car and I found out the next day the bear had gotten into the neighbors car, only his door did not close on the bear locking him in)
Believe it or not, the bear was back the next evening - evidence of paw prints on my husband's truck and another neighbor's vehicle. Guess where the paw prints were - yep, the door handles.
