Bear Break-In Captured On Camera

BOULDER, CO -- The snow may have been falling, but at least one Boulder County bear wasn't quite ready for hibernation. During this weekend's snowstorm, the security camera on a local resident's home captured footage of an extremely delicate break-in by a very diligent black bear.

This occurred over the weekend at one of our Rocky Mountain contingent's houses. Delicate in the way he opens all the doors, brutal indifference in remembering to shut them. @nest #caughtonNestCam @dailycamera @KyleClark https://t.co/dZ1YmH8bmY

Amid footage of steady snowflakes, the bear walks up to a car that is entirely covered by snow, opens the door and crawls right in. After looking around the interior, he exits the car and walks away. "Delicate in the way he opens all the doors, brutal indifference in remembering to shut them," analyzed Red Van Workshop, posting the video on Twitter. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife service replied with a video of it's own, showing the kind of damage a bear can do to a car's interior.

As temperatures warm up this weekend, it still might be a good idea to leave your doors locked overnight.
