Deputies Free Bear Trapped in Car
Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:
On 07-10-17 Humboldt County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a residence on Greenwood Heights for a call of a bear locked in a vehicle. Once on scene Corporal Borges, Deputy Crotty and Lieutenant Fridley found a gray faced adult black bear locked in a vehicle. The bear was very aggressive and snapped at the window anytime someone would get close to the vehicle. With the help of vehicle owner the vehicle was unlocked. Deputies tied a length of rope to the door handle, wrapped it around a tree and fed it back to a patrol vehicle. From a safe distance the rope was pulled which opened the door and allowed the bear to exit the vehicle. It is unknown how the bear was able to get into the vehicle. The bear was unharmed and last seen running into the brush.

Most Bears have a universal remote, so they can get into any vehicle.
Its the easy touch van doors that slide closed behind you.
‘Cept not a van—a sedan.

The owner of the car had to grin and bear it.

I bet the interior of that poor car is trashed.
I was told the front and back dash and the seats were torn up and, the car smelled…
Try explaining that to your insurance company!
