Steely Dan Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Geez, these bear perpetrated crimes are getting out of hand! Now they're joyriding in stolen cars!!! Link Bear steals car in Larkspur, Colorado: Blames Toyota for crash July 26, 4:23 AMRVing ExaminerJulian Gothard A hungry bear in Larkspur, Colorado broke into an empty car Friday and attempted to escape with both a peanut butter sandwich and the 2008 Toyota Corolla. The bear apparently couldn’t get out of the car and panicked, knocking the automatic transmission into neutral in the process. The car then rolled down a steep drive and crashed into thick undergrowth about 125 yards from Ben Story’s family home. At some point prior to the impact the bear must have regained his sense of composure as he turned the four-way flashers on and sounded the horn a number of times as the car rolled down the hill backwards....

A 2008 TOYOTA?... Even the weight of the bear shouldn't be able to knock it out of Park... Sure, break the lever... Isn't there a safety?... What I mean is, how did the bear unlock the ignition in the process? the article said "automatic" right? That shouldn't happen... Should it? Any car experts out there. Anyway... Even with auto trans, I usually use the emerg brake... Especially if the car is in hill country. And in bear/critter country... I leave nothing tasty in the car. Heck, especially with my Jeep, even here in the city... I don't want the raccoons climbing all through the vehicle when the doors and top are off or for that matter rip into the rag when the top is up. Still, funny story!

Just Jack Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Plastic jar removed from Fla. bear cub's head AP- Sat Aug 14, 2:50 pm ET OCALA, Fla. – A black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as "jarhead" can finally enjoy a good meal. A clear plastic container was removed from the 6-month-old cub's head after being stuck for at least 10 days. The cub poked its head into the jar when digging through trash in a neighborhood in central Florida. Biologists say the cub was days away from death because the jar made it impossible to eat or drink. The team had to tranquilize the mother bear and then grab the cub to remove the jar from the bear's head. The subdued mother was then put in a trap and the cubs followed. After she awoke and nursed the cubs, the bears were moved to a less populated area nearby. --picture at the link above-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
