Showing Original Post only (View all)Bear locks himself in car overnight, released but car totaled [View all]
Bruecker said all her car windows and doors were closed.
"When the door came open the bear jumped out kind of in my direction. I made a loud yell at him and it startled him and he took off the other direction like we wanted him to," said Tillman.
The bear was unharmed, but the same can't be said for Bruecker's car.
"My whole ceiling was ripped, the plastic from my sunroof cover was ripped out. My steering wheel was chewed, as was every other piece of my car," she said.
It was towed and is likely a total loss.
Items inside may not be salvageable.
"The bears don't smell good, they don't smell good," she said.
Bruecker said she had picked up some food within the past day, but it had been removed from the car. The only other thing the bear could have been after was a crushed can of lemonade.

Speaking of relieved, I'm sure he did plenty of relieving himself in there, too.

I was in Tuolumne Meadows, in the high country at Yosemite, when an illegal camper left his car. . .
