Black bear caught napping in car after series of break-ins in Ontario

The bear burglar was reported "The Guardian." In the town of Larder Lake, Ontario, Canada, there has been a series of car break-ins.

The culprit was identified. His nap in one of the vandalized cars gave him away. Everything became clear. The residents' cars had been targeted by... a black bear!

Kayla Seward, a resident of Larder Lake, recounts that a few days ago, around midnight, she was awakened by noise.

She went outside to investigate. A black bear was sleeping in a car parked in front of the house.

The burglar woke up momentarily but did not care about her presence and continued sleeping peacefully. In a recording the woman posted on her Facebook profile, you can see the fogged-up window and the sleepy bear on the passenger seat.

The woman told the media that a similar incident happened last year. She is convinced that it is the same bear responsible for both break-ins.

Like last year, the bear most likely opened the unlocked vehicle by lifting the door handle with its snout.

The result? As seen in the following video by the Canadian woman, the wild visitor developed a taste for the foam from the upholstery. The car's seats and plastic elements are shredded, and pieces of the foam are scattered around.

Kayla Seward does not, however, suspect that the bear has a fondness for her and broke in out of longing.

This bear this time last year broke through my back window and was then transported by the ministry [of Natural Resources and Forestry] 200km away. Well, it walked all the way back to take revenge," she says in an interview with "The Guardian."

The newspaper notes that over 380,000 of North America's 600,000 black bear population live in Canada. These animals are usually not aggressive towards humans.
