We’ve been seeing a ton of bear break-ins around Stowe.  They are getting into vehicles and even homes (all by opening doors).  I wish I could post videos… there’s two ring camera scenes of bears walking up to front doors in Stowe and just turning the handle and walking inside.

They have mastered car doors with an incredible efficiency.  7 cars got broken into last night in a condo complex.

The most startling one was at a local hotel, a bear broke into a car by opening the door, but then the door shut behind him.  Locking him in the vehicle.  The front desk got calls at 2am about a horn honking outside in the parking lot.

They find a bear in there honking but it absolutely totaled the vehicle on the inside.  He was trying to remove the door panels to get out.  They ended up popping the trunk and it barely got over the back seat and out.

 

 

 

ummm, holy shit!

“Man dressed in bear costume locks himself in vehicle, then destroys it” would be a much more catching story .

That car looks worse than one from which Customs dismantled to find all of the 100kg of meth.

Are the doors unlocked when they get in or are they able to get in anyway?
