Bear takes joyride in unlocked car in Colorado

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. – A reminder from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office to keep your doors locked, especially in bear country.

In a Facebook post, the sheriff’s office posted a photo of a wrecked car and this caption, “Last night a delinquent bear pulled open an unlocked driver’s door and climbed in, and of course, the door closed behind it. The bear worked on digging out through all 4 doors, but apparently butt-shifted the car into neutral. The car rolled back and off the driveway and about 100 ft down the hill. The four legged suspect swiped a tree, rendering the car undrivable, but in the process popped a door open, and fled on foot… er, on paws in an unknown direction.”
